Late last fall when I pulled out the tomatillos, the notion of crop rotation was front and center. Between life and two little kids, all it amounted to was some some carrot seeds we sprinkled in the tomatillo patch. It received no attention other than the faithful drip irrigation over its head set at some predictable routine. A couple of weeks ago, admist my disgusting weed forest, I noticed this strange plant that I suspected might have fleshy roots. Much to Chili's delight, this is our proud display of orange taproot.
