SANDIA SEED REVIEWS FEED:

Quintessence of pepper flavor. Productive plant. Definitely will grow again.

100 percent germination, grew as well or better than 'short season' annuums. No fuss, pods as good as advertised. A new favorite, will grow again.

I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,

There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!

I think I overwatered the seeds when waiting for them to sprout, so my plants came out somewhat stunted. But they still are producing mini poblano peppers even now in October! Just not as big as I'd hoped for. I'll try again next year. I suppose one could TRY to stuff them, but we've just been flattening them to use on sandwiches this year. I had enough to use in salsa Verde, AND to donate in boxes of mixed peppers. I grew so many peppers, the tiny little poblanos just added another color to the mix, and that was okay.

These cute little orange bell peppers have such a sweet flavor! And the plants are such incredible producers! It's our end of season and they are still loaded! All my seeds were so successful, I ended up giving a lot of seedlings away. I'm not sure we'll get enough sun for them to all turn orange, but I'll wait to see. We love them on grilled sandwiches, but I also used them in a canned pepper mix for later months. My plants were planted on the back side of some zinnias on the other side of the garden fence. The zinnias attracted SO MANY other pollinators, that they came over to the peppers, too. Good idea to remember for next year!

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!)

Excellent peppers, large and meaty. Easy to grow from your seeds.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Grow really fast

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

I liked your Anaheim seed. Came up very well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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