This was our first year growing Hatch Green Chile and we fell in love! We started the seeds indoors with 100% germination and transplanted healthy plants outdoors in May. The plants grew tall and sturdy, were productive with lots of green chiles, and easily survived our humid, 100+ degree weather. The chiles were thick skinned which made roasting and peeling a breeze! The Hatch chile is one of a kind, there is nothing like it. We had so many Hatch peppers that we shared with family and friends. We tried lots of new recipes including Hatch Salsa, Hatch Chile Sauce, Hatch Chili Relleno Casserole, Hatch Enchiladas, and Stuffed Hatch Chiles. We froze some and are now able to enjoy Hatch Chiles in December! You have to try Hatch Green Chiles!!
