Hatch Green Medium - Big Jim Chile Seeds - Nice Heat & Great Flavor

Hatch Green Chili from Sandia Seed is the next best thing to living in New Mexico!
They do grow in Oklahoma!

This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.

We live in North Central Idaho in the mountains. Our seeds all terminated and I had a very good crop of green chile considering where we live. They are thick meated and have great flavor and just the right heat.

Very productive plants even up here in New England!

This was one of the earliest chiles to harvest for me this season – nice big pods, delicious when roasted. I'm going to grow these every season on!

I've always heard that New Mexico Hatch chiles can't grow anywhere but New Mexico! But don't believe that - I *still* have so many Hatch chiles on my plants and it's the end of the season in our Western NC mountains! I've canned so many, and canned so much Salsa Verde, I *HAD* to start just giving away the peppers! (Hint: I inter-planted all my pepper beds with a number of varieties of basil, which I let flower after I harvested as much as I could use. The basil flowers attracted more pollinators that also visited the peppers. Good pepper plants with lots of flowers... good attraction to bees... lots of peppers!)

Easy to grow, nice large pods with thick flesh. I roast them on my grill, peel, and use them for everything from green chile to pizza toppings. If only I had a larger garden, I'd grow tons more. You can never have enough green chile. I used to live in New Mexico but am now up in Minnesota, so being able to grow and enjoy these delicious chile is a treat. I turned my gardening neighbors and friends onto them, too.

I'm a huge fan of sandiaseed.com - a small woman-owned seed company, they're based currently in Colorado, but originated in New Mexico. They have over a hundred different kinds of peppers, and their seeds all grow true and have good germination. We grow their Hatch chile varieties every year including this Big Jim, one of our top favorites! Also love growing their habaneros & jalapenos (they have several different varieties of each!) plus some of their sweet peppers like Shishitos and Fushimis. They have super fast shipping, and have a seed replacement policy and will replace seeds if they fail (though I've never had a problem in the many years of growing about 15 different varieties each year from them for over 8 years.) Two thumbs way up from this chilehead. :)

Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.

These grow large. We roast them and peel them and make green chile from them. My husband adores them.
Made Chili Mac for my Step son and he ate it all in one sitting.
I plant 10 plants every year.
