The Plants
Cilantro
Plant to Harvest:
45-70 days
Space Needed:
12-16 inches
Tip:
Cilantro bolts quickly in warm weather, so plant in partial shade or use succession planting every 2-3 weeks for
continuous harvests. Trim outer leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth and prevent early flowering.
Epazote
Plant to Harvest:
55-60 days
Space Needed:
12-16 inches
Tip:
Epazote has a strong aroma that repels pests and can be grown as a companion plant for beans. Harvest young leaves
for the best flavor, as mature leaves become tough and bitter.
Thai Basil
Plant to harvest:
40-50 days
Space Needed:
12-16 inches
Tip:
Pinch off flowers as they appear to encourage continuous leaf production and prolong the plant’s lifespan. Thai
basil thrives in warm weather and requires at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
Lemongrass
Plant to harvest:
75-100 days
Space Needed:
24-36 inches
Tip:
Lemongrass grows best in warm, well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering. Harvest by cutting stalks at
the base, selecting outer stalks first to allow inner growth to continue.
Thyme
Plant to harvest:
70-90 days
Space Needed:
12-16 inches
Tip:
Thyme prefers dry, well-draining soil and thrives with minimal watering. Trim regularly to prevent woodiness and to
encourage fresh, tender growth.
