Pumpkin is a plump, nutritious orange vegetable, and a highly nutrient dense food. It is low in calories but rich in vitamins and minerals, all of which are also in its seeds, leaves, and juices. There are many ways to incorporate pumpkin into desserts, soups, salads, preserves, and even as a substitute for butter. The roasted seeds are delicious. It is very decorative with its bright orange skin.
Got a few pumpkins last year off of these big vines, and we also enjoyed a lot of the squash blossoms stuffed with cheese and pan fried. Yum!!

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!
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!
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.
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!
If you’re looking for a pepper that is almost too spicy to take a second bite out of, then this is a winner! Flavor is delicious the seeds germinate quickly, and I had peppers earlier than I expected. Definitely 5 stars.
This pepper did really well with very little issues in zone 9b. Had so many peppers to cook in a little bit of olive oil, salt and at times other added ingredients. Best tasting, some were a little hot which I liked. Better than Shishito peppers.
When I grew these peppers, two of them, I started them late. It already was warming up. Took a little time to get established but when they did I was rewarded with a lot of peppers. Made some good sauce from these peppers. Seemed to take the heat and even later, the cooler weather well. Still surviving in zone 9b. I might see if I can save it and put it in a pot in the Spring.
I live in Denver and have had Pueblo Chiles from the source. They are truly wonderful. The Sandia Pepper Seeds bred true and produced an amazing tasty chile. Nicely prolific.
I grew these for the first time and was not disappointed. The peppers are great to use in salads and pickle. I will be planting these again this year. I garden in growing zone 5B. Very Happy to have found Sandia Seed Company.
I live in grow zone 5B and the Rio Grande out preformed the other Roma varieties that I had. It is sweet, delicious and it doesn't have a hard core that other tomatoes have. Will be planting again. Seeds had a good germination rate. Very Happy with Sandia Seed Company's seeds and their service.
These peppers were very prolific and had nice heat. They are wonderful when stuffed and pickled.
Good germination, healthy plants and produces large amounts of bright yellow peppers mid to late season. We have dozens of customers who buy these for their flavor, not just another hot pepper for a sauce. We cut up a couple in our roasted vegetable marinade - yum. We've also dried them and freeze them with excellent results. Even if you like red peppers in a sauce, toss in a couple of these for a great visual and a punch of citrusy flavor.
Found Fushimi after discovering Shishito peppers! Have them in our garden for years now. You simply pick, rinse, heat a skillet with a bit of oil, toss in the peppers and put a little char on 'em! Into a bowl, toss with a bit of salt and presto.....the best appetizer in the world!
Every season, this pepper is in our line up. When roasted, it is absolutely the best tasting pepper in the world. I roast poblano & pimento peppers every year and cannot be without this variety in the garden!
I've grown these peppers going on 4 seasons now and we love, love, love this pepper. He likes hot. I like mild...The Hatch Mild Green is perfect!
