| Hi everyone I need help identifying this plant. I thought I had planted Tabasco pepper seeds. These plants are growing faster than tomatoes, have yellow blooms and then these green sacks after the bloom. Just not sure what I have growing. I would appreciate any help. Thanks! Steve |

| It's either a tomatillo or a ground cherry. Not sure which one as I haven't grown either of them. Rodney |

| Well that settles that. Tomatillo it is. Rodney |

| Thank you for the help. I believe it is a tomatillo, I believe some of the seeds I bought were packaged wrong. I am happy that they are tomatillo. Now I have to plant some Tabasco pepper seeds. |

| The weed ground cherries I get around here have leaves like that plant. |

| Our local wild ground cherries look exactly like Thirsty Dirt's photo. Check online for photos of tomatillo and ground cherry flowers, which IIRC are very different. |
