**Planting and Care Guide:**

1. **Choosing the Right Location:** Select a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil. Tomatillos thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

2. **Preparing the Soil:** Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-draining. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting to provide essential nutrients.

3. **Planting Seeds:** Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting trays or small pots filled with seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

4. **Transplanting Seedlings:** Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space plants 2-3 feet apart in rows or in raised beds.

5. **Watering:** Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season. Water deeply at the base of the plants to encourage strong root development. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

6. **Support:** As the plants grow, provide support such as stakes or cages to prevent sprawling and keep the fruits off the ground.

7. **Fertilizing:** Feed tomatillo plants with a balanced fertilizer once a month to promote healthy growth and fruit development.

8. **Pruning:** Remove any suckers that develop in the leaf axils to encourage better air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.

9. **Harvesting:** Harvest tomatillos when the husks turn papery and the fruits fill out. Simply twist or snip the fruits from the plant. Tomatillos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.

10. **Enjoying:** Use fresh tomatillos in salsas, sauces, and salads, or preserve them by canning or freezing for later use. Experiment with different recipes to fully appreciate the unique flavor of Toma Verde Tomatillos.
