I added habanada pepper to my salsa garden for the taste but no heat for a mild Caribbean salsa and added just a little true habanero in it. It's really interesting because I just directly bit into one habanada pepper to see what they're like, and it tastes just like a habanero but as I cringed waiting to be decimated by the heat. none came! Freaky. But now I can get the taste but temper the heat for my less adventurous friends. Love your vids!

Hi Kevin, I live north of you on the edge of L. A. County. I love your videos and I am learning a lot. I have tried to grow Cilantro for years and it always dies or dries up. Up here we can get up into the 100s temps. Where should I plant it and should I allow for a bit of shade because of the high temps we get here? I love this Salsa garden. I know it's a bit late to start this now. What would be the best time in L. A. County?
Thank you.

I really think it's worthwhile to wait for jalapenos to get fully red and ripe. Serranos, too. They're beautiful, and the flavor is so much more rich and complex. Try letting just a couple on each plant get all the way ripe and try them yourselves. You can still pick most of them green and harvest earlier. :) If it's an open-pollinated/heirloom variety you want some to get all the way ripe to harvest healthy viable seeds, anyway.

I grow tomatillos in those 3ft tall round tomato cages. Once the tomatillo gets past the top, they spread out, but the stems are strong enough to not topple over even up to 5 feet. I also grow multiple plants in one cage as they don't seem to mind since they grow like weeds. Last year I had a giant, a small and a purple variety all in one cage and they produced all the way to the first frost.

Your culantro is known as chillangua here in Ecuador (and I believe Peru as well. Once it has those spiky grows, the plant will not grow new leaves. It starts to prepare itself to actually direct energy to creating seeds. We cut those off to continue having leaves. On the bright side: you can grow new culantro plants super easy (almost like weed everywhere hahaha.

hey there! puerto rican gardener here. Culantro is a major part of PR cuisine. I just wanted to let everyone know that culantro (what we call recao) is GREAT! And if your plant looks like his, its going to seed. You do not grow recao for the spiky leaves. You grow it for the long narrow leaves that you see along the bottom of the plant. Happy growing everyone!

Great video. My first successful garden I grew a salsa garden. It was a good, reasonable goal to start out. I had tried to garden before that, but I think I was biting off more than I could chew. I have 2 jalapenos that I was able to overwinter indoors this past winter. They are doing well for me. I eat them red and cracked.

Haha, nearly half of my garden space is dedicated to salsa. tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, tomatillos. I make literally gallons of salsas & sauces and can them for use throughout the year because after eating my own homegrown/homemade stuff I can't stand store bought.

Just commented on your post from a few days ago about trying mad hatters. Glad to see others like them as well. Never had a striped bell pepper but I am growing candy cane peppers which I am guess could be along the same taste. Pretty cool looking plant too.

You've got Mad Hatters as well! You're the only other person I heard of that's growing them! I started 4 from seed, gave one seedling to a friend so I have 3. I like Lemon Boy tomatoes for salsa, the bright yellow colour makes it unique looking.

I love all your videos so much. They're digestible for overwhelmed beginners and the production value is fantastic.
Just wanted to point out one small note, there is no accent marker over the n in habanero. You pronounce it like a standard n.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin please tell me where you got your bandhania (culantro) seeds from to grow your plant? I need to get my hands on some. Grew up using this and it grew wild in my yard back in Trinidad. I'm in Socal also.

I love the salsa garden but what about white onion. I've got plenty of peppers growing and have some seeds to add tomatillos but I always end up having to buy white onion to make my salsa. I'd love to see a white onion vid.

This year I failed with tomato and chilly and halapeno I don't know why, every seed put a small stalk and everything withered. I have a place on the balcony where I sow new seeds every year but this year sadness.
