One of our customers recently wrote this review below on the infamous Big Jim seeds that he orders from us each year and grows them in Ontario, Canada. A lot of customers ask us if they can grow green chiles in areas outside New Mexico, from the north or deep south – and the answer is YES – you can grow chiles pretty much anywhere, except for the arctic of course ... unless you have a geothermal greenhouse or something! ;)
"I live in the Grand River Valley in Ontario, Canada. I have for the past 2 years successfully grown these peppers up here in the Great White North. I start them in my Basement, in seed pots in a seed tray over a Seed Heating Tray, in Late January until early February. I transplant them in 4 inch Plastic Containers until after March 24th, the date we can guarantee Frost is gone. Then they get put in pots and in my Garden. They are one delicious pepper.
I dry some, I make recipes with them, is so love these peppers and I so thank Sandia Seeds so much for offering and sending me these seeds." – Palladini
