I bought this Buzzy Salsa Garden Grow Kit from Big Lots the same day I bought the bell pepper kit. Saturday, July 17th, after putting the pepper kit together I went ahead and worked on putting together the salsa garden.
The $5 kit came with a galvanized trough, a bag of soil and three packets of seeds.
All but 1/2 cup of the soil was transferred to the container. About 1.5 cups of tap water was stirred into the soil with a fork until evenly moistened.
I checked out the cayenne pepper, cilantro and beefsteak tomato seeds.
The pepper seeds looked like what I'd expected; the cilantro seeds being little balls and the tomato seeds being furry were not what I had anticipated.
The seeds were dispersed over the soil in thirds: peppers on the left, cilantro in the middle, tomatoes on the right.
The reserved 1/2 cup of soil was spread over the seeds and misted well with water to moisten.

Thanks for sharing your blog. I bought the kit and the seedlings are doing well. How did the beefsteak tomatoes work out for you?
Hi Mojopo,
Great to hear that your seedlings are doing well. Unfortunately, I didn't follow the directions closely enough and wound up stifling growth preventing any fruit. I'll post about it soon, thanks for the reminder!
