Hatch Green Medium - Big Jim Chile Seeds

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.

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!

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!

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.

Beautiful & Spicy

These are definitely ornamental, they add a nice touch of color to your garden.. and they are spicy too!

Easter Ornamental NuMex Pepper Seeds

Cute pepper plant

Grew the purple jalapenos last summer. Slow to get going, but ended up with a nice compact bush in a pot. I am trying to overwinter them by bringing the.pot inside for the winter. It is still growing, small purple peppers about 1" long.

Mexico Midget Tomato Seeds

Late producer

This tomato just kept producing when other big tomatoes stopped. I had late fall tomatoes fresh out of the garden into October. The color in a salad can’t be matched.

Berkeley Tie-Dye Tomato Seeds

Excellent

Excellent germination, heat level and flavor. After living where Hatch chilis were a part of our every day, I’m glad to grow them in Idaho!

Great Flavor and Heat - Will grow every year

This is a beautiful and prolific pepper. The flavor is great and the heat, on a scale of 1-10, i would say is a 6. Not too hot but hot enough to impart the right amount of heat your whatever your cooking. I will definitely grow these every year!

Colleen M

Cow Horn Hot Pepper Seeds

LOVE THEM!

Unusual because they grow upward! They did really well in containers in my greenhouse in Nova Scotia, Canada. I started out growing Hatch chiles because I'm from Colorado and SO miss Hatch roasted,but these taste great so I'll order more this year.

Mirasol Mosco Pueblo Chile Seeds

Surprisingly productive

Bought seeds last year(2024). Started early indoors with heat mat. Didn't have high expectations as I live in northern Michigan. I had to wait til June to out outside, but once established they took off. I had 4 plants and received 50-60 peppers. It wasn't the best summer for hot weather plants, but the seedlings were strong and resilient. They kept right on producing until frost. I waited until they turned color to pick the first batch. Once I picked, the plant went crazy, producing tons of peppers. Some I was able to harvest and some didn't get the chance to mature. I will definitely be planting again!
