It's fun to see them hybridize, a few years back I grew standard green tomatillos, followed the next year by some purple and yellow varieties in the same spot. I haven't purposefully planted them since, but these multicolor volunteers keep coming back. This year I'm seeing two distinct growth patterns, with some staying low to the ground and others getting quite tall.

Volunteers are the best. They're strong, independent plants that don't need no man to take care of them.
