Big Jim Legacy Pepper Seeds - Flavor & Heat - A True New Mexico Chile

My husband is a born and raised Albuquerquian who moved to Vancouver , BC. Since New Mexican products are hard to find north of the border, I'm so glad I'm able to grow Big Jim's for him and our neighborhood smells divine come roasting season.

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.

I've been growing green chiles for sometime, but have found Big Jim Legacy to be one of my favorites. In my garden, the plants are vigorous produce until frost. Germination is always great and I've had no problems with any of the seeds I have purchased from Sandia Seed.

I love these big peppers. I also grew them with the standard Big Jim. I didn’t notice much of a difference. The Nu Mex seeds from Sandia are great. Great germination always, healthy plants and great yields.

I've grown these in Santa Fe for two years now. They are easy to grow and set a ton of peppers on each plant. They peeled easy when roasted and well super delicious. I've already ordered more seeds for next year.

These tasty chile plants grew huge pods – which did indeed make them easy to roast and peel, and made for some killer green chile sauce. The seeds were eager with the help of a heat mat under our old aerogarden seed starter tray, and quickly grew into robust plants once transplanted into our garden bed, fed by compost and some chicken manure pellets added before planting. Very happy with these chile seeds and will grow more next season.

This is my third year growing Big Jim peppers --- They're strong, thick-fleshed & tasty. Whether added to dishes when fresh or if frozen, these peppers are versatile and can be added to so many recipes... even when not listed as an essential ingredient. These green chilies capture the rich flavor of New Mexico!

The service was great, received the seeds in short time. The challenge is growing peppers in western Montana. Cooler climate always a challenge, I won't know until the end of the season how the peppers did, but it will have more to do with location than anything.

Nearly 100% germination. Hoping for a fantastic year of tasty peppers!!

Seeds arrived quickly, germinated well and seedlings are healthy. Just waiting out Spring chill to transplant and hopefully enjoy. Thanks.
