Great luck with Sichan pepper seeds!

I was given a packet of your Goat Horn Pepper seeds by a friend after I mentioned wanting to try to grow hot Sichuan peppers. I live in an apartment and so had to plant them in a couple large pots on my patio, but the results were tremendous. Probably 95% of the seeds sprouted, and after a couple thinning projects, I ended up with 3 plants in each pot. Even with difficulty getting enough regular direct sunshine (and some of my mistakes with over-watering), the plants did tremendously and I harvested about 75 ripe peppers which I've used to make a fermented fresh chile sauce that is great on everything. I'm going to try seeds for other pepper varieties from you once it warms up a bit. Thanks!!

Very Productive & Versatile

Plants produced an abundance of peppers from mid-summer (zone 7b) through October. They were delicious green through red, stir fried as well as dried.

First attempt at these peppers. Very prolific

I love these on pizza, sweet with just enough heat.
Will definitely grow more next year.

Goat Horn Peppers are my new favorite!

I grew these last season and boy they were loaded with peppers. Great heat for making fresh salsa, and I dried the rest to make pepper flakes. I will grow these every year now, they were my favorite peppers last year! Thanks for the great seeds.

Productive peppers!

Great for making hot pepper flakes, these pepper seeds had great germination so I had a lot of extra seedlings. The plants were loaded down with nice large Goat Horn Peppers, similar in heat and flavor to Cayenne Peppers, but bigger and thicker. Nice looking plants, great harvest. I will grow these every year now!

Tons of Goat Horns!

Wow, these plants were loaded down with peppers, I couldn't believe it. It took a long time for them to start turning red, and we had an early snow so I can had to harvest them and bring them inside, but they continued to ripen on the counter! I dehydrated them and make red pepper flakes and shared with family and friends as Christmas presents. Delicious! I'm almost out of my pepper flakes that I kept for myself, so I'm going to grow more of these babies this year and make more batches of hot pepper flakes. Thanks for the productive seeds!!

I grow these for habanero hot sauce

I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.

Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds

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.
