‍

🌱 Getting Started

Bold Mexican flavors start with the right fresh ingredients.

Direct sow cilantro outdoors in spring or fall.

Start peppers and tomatoes indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost and transplant outside when the weather warms.

Corn needs to be direct sown in blocks, not rows, for proper pollination.

‍

☀️ Sun Requirements

Every crop in this bundle loves at least 6–8 hours of full sun per day.

Peppers, tomatoes, and corn are especially sun-dependent and will produce less in shade.

‍

💧 Watering

Water consistently and deeply. Peppers are particularly sensitive to drought stress, which can cause flower drop.

Cilantro needs even moisture to prevent early bolting.

Corn is a thirsty crop so water regularly, especially during tasseling and ear development.

‍

✂️ Harvesting

Harvest cilantro leaves before the plant flowers for the best flavor.

Pick jalapeños and serranos when firm and green, or leave them to turn red for a sweeter flavor.

Tomatoes are ready when fully colored and give slightly when pressed.

‍

🧺 Storing Your Harvest

Fresh cilantro keeps stem-down in water on the counter or wrapped in a damp towel in the fridge for up to a week.

Peppers and tomatoes store at room temperature.

Dried peppers last for months in a cool, dry place.
