Common questions

When does the bed free up after Tomatillo?
In an average climate (USDA zone 8a), Tomatillo is harvested by around week 37. That leaves roughly 7 weeks until the first frost. Warmer or cooler sites shift both by one to three weeks.

The strongest options are Arugula, Chervil, Mizuna. Three things decide it: the remaining season has to cover the growing time, crop rotation rules out a close relative straight afterwards, and the neighbours in the bed should get along.
