    Simply place them in a brown paper bag for a few days and they will ripen just like tomatoes do.

    Yes, the sticky film on the tomatillo is normal. Gently wipe down as much as you can when cleaning them. It's ok if it doesn't all come off. They're still prefectly safe to eat.

    It's fine for them to set fruit around the same time. As for cross pollinating, this is only a problem if you plan on growing the seeds from this year's crop the next year. Cross pollination does not affect the fruit on this year's plants and is, therefore, not something you need to worry about if you only plan on eating the tomatillos.

    Fertilize with balanced fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) 1-2 lbs/100 sq.ft. It should be dug into the soil before planting. Here's more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomatillo/growing-tomatillo-plants.htm
