Growing Tips for Organic Verde Tomatillo Seeds:

  1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-85°F for optimal germination.
  2. Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed two sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart to allow for spreading.
  3. Soil: Prefers well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Amend soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting to improve fertility. Maintain a soil pH between 6.0-7.0.
  4. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Water deeply once a week, more frequently during dry spells.
  5. Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for best growth and fruit production.
  6. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer or compost every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to encourage vigorous growth and fruiting.
  7. Support: Plants can become bushy and benefit from staking or caging to support the heavy fruit load and prevent branches from breaking.
  8. Harvesting: Harvest tomatillos when the husk turns papery and splits open, revealing the bright green fruit inside. Fruits should be firm and slightly sticky to the touch. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut fruits from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached.
