The Mother Pepper!

Thanks for the fast shipping last spring, these were so productive and the plants grew huge – they were fun to pick and throw into salsas and dishes. Tons of peppers to be had! We love growing the mother of all peppers in our garden, will be growing these again this year!

KAPOW, then done

I can't say that I ordered Tepin seeds from these folks, but I have an additional comment on Tepins. I have eaten many. Yes, they have a high scoville rating, however it doesn't last long. If I bite a Habanero, I feel it a half hour later. When I est a Tepin, it is a KAPOW--heat and flavor, but in a minute the heat is basically gone.
I love therm and have a 3 year old plant.
