Our family's favorite chile!

Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.

Black Krim Tomato Seeds

Huge!

These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.

Carole

Brandywine Yellow Tomato Seeds

Susan

Amana Orange Tomato Seeds

Great purple Cherokees

I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste

Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds - ON SALE

Great germination rate!

These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!

Greg

Guajillo Chile Seeds

Big Jim Chiles

Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.

Big Jim Legacy Pepper Seeds

Pueblo Chili

My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser

Mirasol Mosco Pueblo Chile Seeds

Beautiful and spicy

I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.

Erica Martinez

Hatch Red X Hot - Ms. Junie Chile Seeds

Big Jim!

Very productive plants even up here in New England!

Greg M

Grew these in MI, zone 5a.

Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.

MrsG

Chimayo Chile Seeds

Beautiful and hot!

These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!

Jalapeño Lemon Spice NuMex Seeds

Super delicious Scotch Bonnets!

Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!

Brian

Scotch Bonnet Orange Pepper Seeds

A flavorful Hatch

These Hatch Chiles are flavorful with a good amount of heat! Each plant produced a good amount of peppers! I will be growing these again!

Jeffrey K.

Hatch Green X Hot - Lumbre Chile Seeds

Get these every year

These grow large. We roast them and peel them and make green chile from them. My husband adores them.
Made Chili Mac for my Step son and he ate it all in one sitting.
I plant 10 plants every year.
