Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for tomatillo seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix or directly in the garden soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate.

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days when soil temperature is around 70°F (21°C).

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 2-3 feet apart.

Tomatillos grow best when spaced adequately to allow for air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells.

Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Stake or cage plants to support their growth, especially as fruits develop.

Prune tomatillo plants to improve air circulation and fruit production.
