Marconi Red Sweet Heirloom Seeds

Service is great. Not sure about seeds yet. It will be another week or 2 before I will plant them. So I don't feel giving a review before growing the seeds and having a harvest is pertinent . I'm sure if they grow like other pepper seeds purchased from Sandia Seed they will be wonderful. Happy Growing Wendy
