Ever since I was a little girl I was fascinated with homegrown ingredients. I used to love seeing tomatoes, corn, sugar cane, and a variety of herbs grow in my grandma’s home. I loved when my grandma would send me outside to grab warm tomatoes from the vine so she could make salsa casera. Or she would have me cut stems of yerba buena (mint) or manzanilla (chamomile) when I had an upset tummy to make tea as a remedio (remedy). I was always in awe that she hardly went to the grocery store. She had a lot of her staples growing in her very own backyard. If you want to plant a vegetable garden I would suggest starting small and plant a salsa garden like mine, and if you have the space, make it bigger every year. Over the years I have learned a few tips and tricks and want to share them with you.
