How to grow it:

Germ Temp	Indoor Start	Germ Days	Frost Tolerant	Sun	Seed Depth	Plant/Row Spacing
65-85	2-4 w.	6-14 d.	No	Full	1/8”	18”/24”

Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before average last frost date. Thin to the strongest plant per pot. Transplant 18-24" apart in full sun, plants transplant better when small, 10-12". Tomatillos are ripe when the husk fully turns brown, or they fall off the plant. Plant more than one, as they benefit from cross pollination between plants of the same variety.

Seed specs: Packet size- 50 min.
