Q.Tomatillos Not Setting Fruit
Why isn’t my sole tomatillo plant producing any fruit? It’s about 3+ feet tall and budding little buds and things that may be tomatillo fruits someday, but do they just take a while?

It has been a hard summer on nightshade vegetables, with the high heat and humidity. The high humidity makes it difficult for them to pollinate well. You may need to hand pollinate. Tomatoes and tomatilloes are pollinated in the same way, so this article will help:
