Best Pepper Seeds

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. :)

Our family's favorite chile!

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.

Big Jim!

Very productive plants even up here in New England!

Get these every year

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.

Perfect for green chile

These germinated and grew beautifully, was happy to use them to create the delicious green chile of my home but in a new country!

Excellent

Excellent germination, heat level and flavor. After living where Hatch chilis were a part of our every day, I’m glad to grow them in Idaho!

Best Chile Seeds!

These are my favorite so far. I've planted a few other varieties, but this one is most flavorful to me.

Taste of NM in SC

I love these! The germination rate has always been close to 100%, the plants are hardy and produce an abundance of very tasty green chiles. The heat is just right but of course can fluxuate with growing conditions.

Great Producers

I’ve grown this variety for a few years now and they consistently produce very well here in NC. I buy fresh seeds each year and have had a great sprout rate.

Great Producer!

We roasted most and froze for the winter,What a Treat!!

Easy to grow, great for pesto and caprese salads

I grow your basil seeds every year, they are easy to start from seed and grow into nice bushy plants that we harvest all summer long to use to make caprese salads (when the tomatoes start to ripen), as well as pesto. I like to make a big batch of pesto, then freeze "pucks" of it in a muffin tray to store in a container in the freezer for some summer flavors all winter long. These seeds always have great germination. I also like to let a couple of basil plants bloom as the pollinators love the blooms and they are pretty, too!

Basil Genovese Seeds - Sweet Italian Heirloom - Great Flavor and Aroma

Worth every penny!!! Best large chiles!!!

Bought the Green Chile Intro - 3-Pack and was able to start indoors the Big Jim Legacy and Sandia Select with a 100% germination rate thanks to the clear instructions provided. As of Mid July in NC zone 7A on the 8 chile plants(6 Big Jim, 2 Sandia) in the garden I have 5-7 large chiles per plant. The smallest chiles are over 7” and I’m already getting another flush of flowers for round 2 of delicious peppers. Highly recommend these chiles!!!

Gift for my sister

My sister loves gardening, and is quite a seed collector and grower. She'll love all these classic varieties to add to her garden and seed box. Zucchini are an old stand-by, as well as pumpkins, beans, radishes and more. She's never grown spaghetti squash, so that will be a fun addition.

Beautiful, perfect golden tomatoes - very tasty, too!

Perfect looking tomatoes in a golden color with hints of red, they are gorgeous. These Rainbow Tomatoes were definitely the most productive tomatoes of the season last year, so our countertop bowl was filled with their golden deliciousness.

Make sure to use a sturdy tomato cage (not those wirey floppy ones that they most commonly sell!) - we ended up using some wood stakes to create a frame around the plants as they were so huge and loaded with fruit later in the season.

We just planted our seedlings for these this year, looking forward to watching them grow!

Big Rainbow Tomato Seeds

Fantastic! I will be ordering from Sandiaseed from now on.

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.

I grow these for habanero hot sauce

I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.

These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.

Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds - Heirloom with Sweet Flavor - Heat Tolerant

Great germination rate!

These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
