I've not been successful growing true Tomatillos (at least ones I liked).
But the ground cherry relation which is about my favorite food in the
world, is, by nature a sprawling plant. Fruiting continues on the growing
portions of the plant until it is killed by frost. Give it plenty of room
to begin with.
I'm trying one (ground cherry) in a hanging bucket (plant emerging from
the bottom) this year and Susan has got at least one trussed up in a
tomato cage.
