Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Unique Fruit Appearance: Produces fruit encased in dry papery husks, turning lemon yellow when ripe, offering a pleasantly fruity flavor.
  • Optimal Growing Conditions: Requires a soil temperature of 24°C (75°F) for germination; ensure 14-16 hours of light per day post-sprout for best growth.
  • Timely Harvest: Ready for harvest when the husks loosen and the fruit inside matures to a bright lemon yellow; ideal for garden enthusiasts eager for fresh produce.
  • Versatile Culinary Uses: Perfect for traditional Mexican salsas, enhancing spaghetti sauces, and incorporating into salads and other dishes for a fresh, tangy twist.
  • Adaptable to Environments: Grows effectively in similar conditions as tomatoes; benefits from fertilization with high-phosphorus solutions for robust root development.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Start by sowing tomatillo seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and maintain a consistent soil temperature of around 75°F. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and expect germination in about 5-7 days.

Once seedlings reach about 5 inches tall, transplant them into larger pots, burying the stems deeper to encourage strong root growth. Harden off the plants by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting them into the garden. Ensure the night temperatures are consistently above 50°F.

Plant the tomatillos in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, spaced 24-36 inches apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, and fertilize with a high-phosphorus solution to encourage fruiting. Harvest when the husks loosen and the fruit turns a vibrant lemon yellow, perfect for making salsas and other culinary dishes.
