Onions and garlic are great for growing at home. They don’t take up a lot of space in the garden but pack a major flavor punch.
Plant your garlic in the fall or early spring with your onions just after the soil becomes workable and nights stay above 20 degrees. These will be ready to harvest late summer to early fall when the greens begin to brown and die off.
Green onions take less time to grow and are a great option to grow for early batches of fresh salsa.
Growing your own peppers is a great way to add a unique flavor to your salsa. The varieties of papers you can purchase at the grocery store or farmers market are limited compared to what you can grow in your own garden.
