I had tomatilo's last year as well as this year. They develop flowers quickly and lots of them but take forever to bare fruit. Last year, towards the end of season they developed a husk and a small fruit inside. They7 never became edible because the growing season was coming to an end. I don't think they need a partner, although I could be wrong. I'll post later.

Sheila Joyce, I'm sue he IS a darling, and that is an adorable story. Grandchildren are precious, aren't they? And he is blessed to have a loving grandmother such as you.

I'm glad you and your sister had such a great time. I loved my short curly hair when it came back too and called it my chemo cut. Loved the curls but they only lasted for a few cuts and then they were gone. A friend of mine has a picture like you describe. I'm anxious to see yours. It will take awhile for your sister to get over the fatigue that comes with treatment. I can't say I ever got all of my energy back....but then again, I am older now.

Thank you for updating us, it's good to know your grandson is on the road to recovery. Also good to know he is taking this 'lesson' to heart! ! And to be perfectly honest, I have learned from this, too! It never occurred to me that minor scrapes & scratches can be so dangerous! I have reached the age where my skin is thin, very thin! So I am forever getting little nicks and tears, especially on my arms. Sometimes I don't even notice them until I find some dried blood dripped somewhere. (I am on blood thinners, so there is always a lot of blood with even very small skin tears.) Then I just wash them of & go on with what I was doing. But from now on, the wasting off will be followed by antibiotic cream & a Band-Aid! And by the way, Anglophilla, Band Aids were causing bruising and skin tears on me, too. I found the Band Aid brand 'Comfort Sheer' comes off pretty easy. And something I learned from a nurse after my second cataract surgery, gently massage some type of oil into the bandaid and it will come off very easily. In fact, the Comfort Sheers will almost fall off! I think any type of oil or lotion will work, the nurse that used this method on me was using what looked like hand lotion. I've used Vitamin E oil because that was what was handy at the time. I just wish I had known this trick 50 years ago, when I had a house full of growing boys! ! Rusty
