Growing Tomatoes, Chilies, and Herbs: Fresh Salsa Ingredients
This season, we’re growing a variety of salsa ingredients in our Community Garden, including plum tomatoes, basil, sweet peppers, coriander, chili peppers, and onions. To ensure the best harvest, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors when the soil warms. Use well-draining soil and keep plants in a sunny spot. Basil and tomatoes thrive in warmth, while coriander and onions prefer cooler conditions. Start your seeds in small pots or trays with drainage and watch your garden flourish with vibrant, homegrown ingredients perfect for fresh salsa all season long!
