The beauty of the garden in winter: tomatillos

Julia Ostertag found these beautiful, lacy tomatillo husks in the Orchard Garden this week.

And although tomatillos are part of the nightshade family, they are more closely related to cape gooseberries than to tomatoes! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatillo . Green tomatillos make a delicious salsa (tomatillo recipes & info here).
