I'm planning a salsa garden this year- here's what I have seeds for:

mexibell peppers (a cross between jalapenos and bells)
purple bell peppers
yellow bell peppers
several different varieties of heirloom tomato
tomatillo

Anything else you'd recommend?

OH- I suppose some cilantro would be good.  I'd say onion, but they're kind of a pain to grow, easier to buy.

I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

Wouldn't it just be easier to go and buy a jar of salsa?

Where's the fun in that?

i've never had very good luck with cilantro - it seems to go to seed almost immediately, especially once it gets hot, which always leads me to wonder how the hell they grow it in mexico and central america. i treat it like onions - easier to buy it.

any hotter peppers than the mexibells?

I was thinking maybe some jalapenos, but I'm not sure.  I'm going to the Farmer's Market this weekend- I'll see if anyone has seedlings.

ummm no.  Sorry.

Well, the salsa garden is well underway.  3 tomato plants (Cherokee purple and black something) are in, black zebra and beefsteak tomatoes are seedlings.  3 jalapeno plants and 3 mexibell pepper plants are in.  Tomatillos are (hopefully) seedling AS WE SPEAK.  (please send good thoughts their way- I never grew any from seed before)

Yay!

16:15:43 [Gamplayerx] Juneau, I could really go for some pie. You better Belize it!

Mr. Ubiquity

reminds me, i saw some new chips at the gas station.   Habanero flavored doritoes.   very yummy.  a little kick but not alot.   better than the spicy ones. and the black pepper.

I like the Black Pepper Jack Doritos.  They are good.
11:42:24 [Gamplayerx] I keep getting knocked up.

I'm very excited!  I just went and looked at my garden- the tomato plants already have flowers as do a few of the pepper plants!  AND the tomatillos are sprouting!

:gamp:

I'm so freakin thrilled to live somewhere that things GROW.

Did you grow a cream cheese plant to mix in with your salsa?

Nah- couldn't find an organic seed.

It's starting!  :gamp:

Granted- these aren't technically from the "salsa" part of the garden, but the tomato pics came out blurry.

1.  Clairmont zucchini
2.  Purple and sweet basil with rosemary
