Onions can be planted from seeds or sets. Select red, white or yellow for your garden. You can plant up to 30 onion sets in your salsa garden.
Peppers - Plant 2 or 3 pepper plants in your garden. Plant any green, sweet, bell type of pepper. If you like hot, spicy salsa, plan to also grow a hot pepper variety.
