Tomatillos-To pinch or not to pinch
We've got some Tomatillos in the polytunnel. Wondering if I need to pinch them out as one does with tomatoes? None of the books on our shelves mention them. The packet says nothing more than when to plant, temperature etc. The "googlebane" results are all very non committal. Has anyone got experience with these and knows the answer to the deep and highly philosophical question. Tomatillos-To pinch out or not to pinch out?

They are similar to grow as the cape gooseberry , I don't pinch them out, just give them good supports and let them fruit away

Definitely don't pinch out but do support - oh and they'll get huge inside, another year you'd probably be better with them outside as they need insect pollination and they do absolutely fine outdoors.
