Tasty and prolific

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.

New favorite pepper

This plant grows fairly quickly for a habanero and is super abundant once it get going. In my experience they are a little easier to grow than regular and chocolate habs. Great, crisp flavor and jus the right amount of heat, especially great in fresh dishes like salsa. Plant in a warm spot that won't cool down too much at night to really max out production. I've been growing this since it was introduced and never disappoints.

Beautiful Reds

Love this Hatch variety chili, next best thing to living in New Mexico! Yep, they grow in Oklahoma too!

Top Notch

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

Awesome peppers!

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.

Favorite poblano

Ok germination that resulted in very sturdy plants that stood strong during harsh winds that damaged many other plants in my garden. Gorgeous big poblanos that were equally good green or chocolate. Will grow again.

Wow! BIG JIM PEPPERS

Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!

Excellent!

Prudens purple was huge, productive, and delicious. Very crack resistant. Amazing!

pick me

I liked your Anaheim seed. Came up very well.

Jalapeno to Chipotle

I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.

Chimayo Chile Seeds
Dale DuVall
Chimayos in Oregon

I've loved seeing the long red Ristras in New Mexico so I gave these a shot this year in Oregon. They are early maturing and so flavorful. They also are great for bright red hot sauce. Definitely growing these again.

2025 seed packet turned out to be Jamaican Mushroom

Great germination, healthy plants and quite prolific. But grew Yellow Jamaican Mushroom pepper instead of Orange Scotch Bonnet. Not bad peppers but I was really looking forward to the scotch bonnets.

Hi Clarie, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and to let us know your experience with these seeds. We're glad to hear that your pepper seeds had great germination and were healthy and prolific. However, we apologize for any confusion with the seed packet – it seems there may have been a mix-up. Would you be able to email us some photos of the peppers if you still have them to support@sandiaseed.com? Or just send us the details of your order, and we can replace your seeds or refund you. We'll also be sure to double check our inventory to ensure future orders are accurate. Happy growing!

Nice Flavor

I planted both Big Jim Legacy and Big Jim Medium. Both were really mild, with heat if I ate the membrane and the seeds. Compared to the Big Jim peppers we purchased from Wegmans, these were significantly more mild. We sprouted them inside under a grow light and on a heat pad; they did very well. We moved them to our deck for the rest of the season. They grew very slowly (it was a cold, wet spring) and produced few buds until August/September, when they really took off! Right now we are anticipating a nice crop until the first frost. We are at 2650 feet elevation midway along Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. No dishes made yet as we are waiting until we harvest enough peppers for canned peppers. Anyway, next year I will work with different soil configurations and more carefully document the results in order to determine the optimum growing setup.

Great peppers!

Unsurprisingly this variety grew really well and was very productive in New Mexico! Thanks so much for carrying this variety - and so many other hard to find, tasty peppers!

Big Jim...great roasting Chilis

I grow chilis for seed from Sandia in Wichita Kansas. They take longer for harvesting but make great roasting Chilis. I call them WichiHatch Chilis.

Orange Habanero

Seeds were amazing with great germination rates. Very stable strain that had little to no variation between plants! Will be running them again!

Great seeds

Just as described. Wonderful Habanero flavor without the heat. This makes the best Chili and we love the flavor.

Great seeds

Seeds grew quickly and in May I transplanted them into my garden. Kept three plants to a container and the did great in the garden without falling over. Great harvest.

Tomatillos galore!

I had 6 plants that produced all of the tomatillos that I could use. I gave my neighbors enough for a batch of green salsa too. Easy to germinate and great producers. We live in a short growing season in the mountains of Idaho and they did great!

Spunky chile plants

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.

I really loved these tomatoes. They had the most delicious tomatoes flavor.

These Abe Lincoln tomatoes have the most delicious tomato flavor. Reminds me of the delicious tomatoes that my father grew when I was a child. We ate them straight out of the garden while they were still warm from the sun.

Not the same

These taste good, but are smaller than the ones I ordered from NuMex (CPI), and very susceptible to mites and fungal issues. They also don't like the heat, ironically.

Tasty Jalapeños!

Finally, Jalapeños with the heat I remember from the past! I was expecting larger pods but they're decent. I recommend this variety!

Taste of the SW

We recently moved to South Carolina and I missed having access to fresh green chili. I decided to dedicate a raised bed in my vegetable garden to New Mexico green chilis. I got all of my seeds from Sandia Seed. I was very impressed with how well all of the plants did. I had great germination rates and the plants are thriving. They are still producing large, flavorful green chilis. The harvest was so successful that I was able to restock our freezer for roasted green chili year round. I will definetly buy from Sandia Seed again.
