Amazing flavor... you can't beat this chile for the perfect amount of spice and loads of smokey-buttery flavor.
I have them in a seed starting mix, on a heating mat, with a grow light.. and not a single one has sprouted.. they are still there I will update my review if anything happens.. so far I am very unhappy and unimpressed.. only rating 1 star because it won’t let me rate it zero stars.
I figured that with them being on sale sowing them would be a bust however, So far 3 out of 10 .. previously ordered these same seeds from Pepper joes and none came up.. genuinely surprised and grateful these came thru. Thought i would have to wait another year to experience them
Decent first yield that wasn't expected. I live in blistering Mesa so had been trying to stall the bloom to focus on root and foliage development. Missed some flowers and got an early surprise. Very tasty that live up to their reputation.
These were the first of my hot peppers to sprout and are growing fast, can't wait to eat them this summer, I love that they are nice and hot. Many jalapeno varieties are somewhat mild these days so I was looking for an extra hot one to make poppers and salsa. Thank you for the very viable seeds.
This is my first time growing peppers. These were very easy to grow, I planted 4 seeds in a starter tray, all four sprouted and I gave the rest to a friend. Planted January 7, harvested my first fully red pepper May 11, grown fully indoors in a sunny southwest window in Phoenix, AZ. Great heat when picked early and great flavor when red! Very hot for jalapeños. I didn't have anything close to ideal growing conditions (party cups with coco coir on a windowsill) and they grew strong and bushy with lots of fruit anyway.
Easy to grow, nice big pods, great for stuffing!
Great germination, love that you have 30 seeds in the pack, and nearly every seed germinates so I usually just put one seed in per pod in my starter tray. They grow into robust plants, I grow them in 5 gallon pots on the patio and they do great. The chiles are extra large, with thick flesh and are easy to roast on the grill and peel. Delicious.
These are most of my favorite varieties.. all super easy to grow, and productive. This is the perfect gift for an experienced gardener like me or new gardeners, too! The seeds germinated quickly and grew into healthy plants. The zucchini was OFF THE HOOK. And we also loved the Cayenne peppers for their heat, there were a lot of them but they were easy to dry and crush so they are now hot pepper flakes.
I couldn't believe after sowing the seeds that they popped up just a few days later. They grew into nice red radishes, delicious on posole and salads. I keep planting more so they keep coming.
It grows so easily, I scatter seeds in my garden and they come up and grow into lush dill plants. Love the flowers! The Swallowtail butterflies love it too, apparently it's a host plant for them so they lay eggs on it. Which is fine by me as there is always plenty to share.
I love tomatos so much these are absolutely immaculate I dont know what I would do or where I would be without the life alteringly scrumptious tomatos that turned my lide in an entirely new direction I owe my life to these tomatos I would sacrafice my family for a png the the glory of the wonderous power given by the objectivly best vegtable created and practicly biogenecly engineered for our delight why waste such an opportunity on something dumb like taxes or food when the tomatoes are waiting to give you the answers that can lead to a realm of goodness hidden by corporate america who slow you down with stupid insagnificant things meant to slow you down like grammmaer they dont want us to realize the truth that shall set you free punctuation and backspace is a lie if you know what i mean then i didnt make a mistake no open your eyes break through see through the seeds hellen keller was never real they want us to believe that she could read write know multiple languages publich 12 books fly a plane and be a mechanic no take a stand realize the truth in tomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoesestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoestomatoes I will now write out the lyrice of the tomato song C C C C

I don’t like tomatoes they always make me far too unhappy
Now you might like tomatoes and that’s ok with me
But please don’t put one on my plate or SPLAT one on my knee
Spaghetti sauce, tomato soup, I love with all my heart
But I don’t like tomatoes, they always make me far too unhappy
Maybe you thought there’d be a happy ending to this song
Like I’d try a tomato and realize I was wrong
But no such luck, this song ends the same way it did start
I don’t like tomatoes they always make me
I don’t like tomatoes and I don’t think they like me
I wouldn’t say I hate them but you won’t find one near me
We do our best to co-exist by staying far apart
I don’t like tomatoes they always make me

100% germination! I planted all of them (plus Big Jim, Jimmy Nardello, and Calabrian chiles), and they're almost ready to go into 4" pots. I have them under T5 lights in a spare room, and they're thriving. I've always had terrific results with Sandia Seeds. I've previously purchased their Chimayo seeds, and I have so many dried ones left from last year I didn't need to grow any these year. Great company, and very highly recommended.
These had a nice heat for adding to salsas or making poppers. Very productive plant loaded with peppers!
Wow, these were so productive, and much easier to see than green zucchini, so they didn't hide as easily resulting in giant baseball bat sized squash! Delicious at any size, I love making these into fritters. The seeds had excellent germination, every one sprouted in the mounds, so I had to thin them out. Next time I'll only put two seeds per mound, I dislike culling the extras.
I grew these as I wanted to grow my own okra to eat, but I had no idea how beautiful the blooms are! These are very ornamental in addition to being edible. I have them in a container garden on my patio, and they were my prettiest pots. Plus, the okra was delicious! My okra plants started from your excellent seeds grew great in large pots.
Can’t wait to sow them... and your seed catalog is dreamy, I had no idea how many peppers I wanted to grow. I also like that you have lots of heirloom tomatoes and herbs, too.
I put these in a large patio pot, and they were so cute – they produced lots of sweet flavored cherry tomatoes, they never made it inside. Great for snacking when hanging out on the patio! I planted them with a two basil plants so it was a very pretty pot! I don't know why I didn't start growing tomatoes in pots sooner, I always thought I needed a garden bed. The best sun is on our patio so I was so excited to try these. I'm going to grow these and your Tumbling Tom Tomatoes this year - adding another couple pots. Hopefully we'll have lots more tomatoes to snack on plus maybe enough so that some will make it into the house to use for salads.
One of our Principe Borghese plants grew nearly eight feet tall and kept producing tomatoes all the way to the top! The fruits are also great for drying because they are firm and don't have much juice/moisture. They made great sun-dried tomatoes (we used our oven at 225˚F to dry them for about 4 hours, so I guess I should call them sun-grown dried tomatoes). 😆 They are DELICIOUS when marinated in olive oil. They're great tossed with pasta and garlic.
Exquisite flavor and heat... so addictive! Good seeds, nearly every one germinated with a heat mat under the tray. Productive plants, make sure to start them early if you live in a short season climate like me up in Minnesota. I made a lot of hot sauce and salsa with these devils.
These were my favorite peppers for hot sauce and salsas last season. Hope you get seeds back in stock soon so I can plant them again this season! :)
Wow, these are like gems when they start changing from deep purple to red, they look like rubies! And they are tasty, nice thick flesh, great for poppers or to chop into salsa and pico-de-gallo. Thank you for offering these, the plants make a great conversation piece as we put them in pretty ceramic pots on our patio.
I used these to make my infamous lasagna, they have such beautiful color and make a rich & vibrant orange-pink-red sauce! Very productive, and early, and the tomatoes were HUGE! They are so pretty when sliced... very tropical looking, just the color alone makes your mouth water.
I read your post about winter sowing and ordered this set of seeds to start in my recycled vinegar jugs from pickling season. WOW! It's incredible to see them all sprout so easily in these free, little mini-outdoor-greenhouses. I'm excited to see them take off and will transplant into my garden beds in another month or so during a warm spell. Thanks for the great idea!!
I love these so much for tomato & marinara sauces! They are very large – often over 1 pound – with very few seeds and the plants are verrry productive! These are also wonderful for fresh pico.
