Planting and Care
- Choose a sunny spot in your garden with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and ensure the soil is well-draining.
- Amend the soil with compost or aged manure to improve fertility and drainage.
- Plant tomato plants 2-3 feet apart, pepper plants 18-24 inches apart, and onion sets 4-6 inches apart.
- Sow cilantro seeds directly into the soil, covering them lightly, and thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart.
- Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
- Fertilize every 3-4 weeks with a balanced organic fertilizer to support healthy growth.
- Install stakes or cages for tomato plants to provide support as they grow and bear fruit.
- Mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Notes
Rotate crops each year to prevent soil-borne diseases. Harvest tomatoes when fully ripe and firm, peppers when they reach desired size and color, onions when tops fall over, and cilantro leaves as needed.
