My Favorite Chile

This is my third year growing these Hatch Green Mild NM 6-4 peppers. They produce really well and they taste great. Just the right amount of heat for our family. I have had two large pickings this summer from my seven plants and right now they are loaded with beautiful red chile that I will be picking soon. I will be ordering more seed for next years garden.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS Hatch Green Chile!

This was our first year growing Hatch Green Chile and we fell in love! We started the seeds indoors with 100% germination and transplanted healthy plants outdoors in May. The plants grew tall and sturdy, were productive with lots of green chiles, and easily survived our humid, 100+ degree weather. The chiles were thick skinned which made roasting and peeling a breeze! The Hatch chile is one of a kind, there is nothing like it. We had so many Hatch peppers that we shared with family and friends. We tried lots of new recipes including Hatch Salsa, Hatch Chile Sauce, Hatch Chili Relleno Casserole, Hatch Enchiladas, and Stuffed Hatch Chiles. We froze some and are now able to enjoy Hatch Chiles in December! You have to try Hatch Green Chiles!!

Very Mild Chile

These Chili's are small but flavorful. They produce a lot on each plant. They're very mild but still have the peppery flavor. I highly recommend them!

Love mild green chilies

The hatch mild green chili is one of a kind. So delicious. The seeds have just started germinating to be put out this spring. Very excited to have them. Very excited to see what it's like in my own soil as well.

Delicious green chiles, easy to grow

My chile garden was awesome this year, these seeds were super easy to start, and grew quickly into productive plants with nice fat chile pods. They were great for roasting as they have thick flesh and skin that peels off easily after blistering them. Just made a batch of green chile stew this weekend to enjoy!

Excellent

Great seeds, nearly every one sprouted. They produced nice pods that were easy to roast and peel for green chile.

Great Hatch chile seeds

I had excellent germination of these seeds, put two each in their pods, and nearly all sprouted so had to to then them out. They grew quickly into robust plants that I transplanted outside in the garden and they are producing nice big green chile with thick flesh so they're great for roasting on the grill and peeling for use in my famous green chile stew. Now I just need to expand my garden so I can grow more of these delicious chiles... nothing beats them in flavor!

Excellent

I grew them last year here in Wisconsin, just because someone told me it couldn't be done due to the growing zone. I am now finishing up the last of my roasted peppers and have 48 new seedlings started. I will continue to buy my seed stock from you!

LOVE these!

I lived in NM for a year and fell in love with Green Chilis. Now I live in PA and grow them from these seeds. Every year I have SUCH a bountiful and delicious harvest. I usually can most of it for use year round. These seeds never disappoint, I used the same packet a couple years in a row. Just bought two more packets.

Easy to start from seed, very productive

My wife and I were really happy with the production on these plants, we had plenty of chile to make lots of pots of green chile! Very tasty, the nice large pods had thick flesh made them easy to peel after roasting on our grill, too.

Beautiful Peppers! 🌶

I grew these from seed starting in March in northern NJ. I never see these “hatch” types around this area & they did great! Every seed came up too. I still had a few fruit on some of the plants this colder time if the year. Made sausage & peppers. 😋

Full of flavor!

Hatch chilis are our family favorite. They add an extra level of flavor to everything we put them in. And while we like hot stuff, we don't miss the heat with these peppers, they taste that good. They are a little finicky to grow up here in the north woods of New Hampshire, but it's worth the extra effort.

Celeste
Very happy with productivity and flavor!

Zone: 6b
Germination rate: >90%
I'm so happy with these! Planted end of February indoors, transitioned to a polytunnel in April, and planted outdoors after our LFD in May. I spaced the plants much closer (10") and did not seem to have any issues. All summer I've had large hatch peppers that yielded an entire pint size mason jar of powder (I pick when green). I use this powder in soups, mac and cheese, enchiladas, etc.
Always a big hit!

Wow

I placed this plant outside late three weeks to a month back. I think I started in March. The weather has been cooler than usual. The plant is already a couple feet tall and has one almost 8 in pepper on it. The other peppers are just starting. Guess it is concentrating on one pepper at the moment. Can't wait until it is full. The other seeds I purchased are also doing well. Very happy, can't wait to use it in a sauce.

Hatch mild in a container

I grew this year Anaheim -type green chilies in a large pot on my deck. I watered them daily so as to not encourage them to get hotter. It worked so well. Got heavy harvest of delicious chilies. Will do again next spring

Delicious, fleshy chile

These were productive with lots of large, thick-fleshed chile pods. My wife roasted them and they were delicious in homemade green chile stew. I had great germination on these, and plenty of seeds in the packet are left, so we will use them again this year, going to start them next week. Thanks!

Hatch Chili - Mild NM 6-4

I was raised with this type of chili, including the hotter versions. The mild is great for our uses - salsas, relishes, relianos, even jelly. Easy to grow and maintain. I will continue to grow them annually.
