How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost in trays or small pots.

Sow seeds ¼–½″ deep in a moist seed-starting mix.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

How to Grow

Grow plants in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Space plants properly and support sprawling growth with cages or a trellis if needed

Tips

Harvest tomatillos when the husks split and fruits completely fill the husks.

Grow at least two plants together to ensure good pollination and higher yields.

Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
