Tomatillos
They have gotten very big, but still no fruit :(
Comments on this photo
They are very much like a small green tomato inside a papery husk, apparently they are related to both tomatoes and the ornamental Chinese Lanterns. They aren't big, maybe 3 inches across max. and taste tart. I use them in a green chili that is made with pork instead of beef.

What does the fruit look like when it does come? I'm not familiar with these.
