Waiting!

Have not germinated after 15 days...still waiting.

Hi Carl!

Be patient and keep them warm! Pepper seeds germinate best at 80-90˚ F, and some can take as long as 21+ days to germinate, so don't give up on them. You should be seeing sprouts soon! Happy growing!

Pleasant surprise

I got these thinking they were the mild big box brand and was very happy that they are a medium heat. Full of flavor, smoky sweet when mature. Great for poppers or pickled or fresh. Easy to grow, flowers easily, produces above average, fruits take a little longer to mature, easy to sprout when directions are followed.
My new fave

Love this pepper

Another winner! Love having green, yellow and red peppers on the same plant. Mild enough to use raw in salads and threw in all the colors in a refrigerator pickle recipe--was pretty and tasty!

Wow! Beautiful and Prolific!

I loved having this beautiful large Santa Fe Grand pepper plants in our garden. Nearly all of the Santa Fe pepper seeds I planted germinated. I use a heat mat to keep them warm, and it works like a charm. They were loaded with peppers in a range of colors from yellow to bright cherry red. We make lots of Santa Fe "poppers" from them, stuffing them with cream cheese and throwing them on the grill to heat. We also added our Santa Fe peppers to lots of salsas over the course of the summer, as well as our hashbrowns on Sunday mornings. Who doesn't like spicy hashbrowns? :) I will be growing these gorgeous Santa Fe Grand Pepper plants every year going forward, they were the highlight of my vegetable garden.

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!

Habanero Orange Seeds - Extra Hot Peppers with Intense Flavor

Great seeds

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

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.

Hatch Green Medium - Big Jim Chile Seeds - Nice Heat & Great Flavor

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.

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 - Big Beefsteak Heirloom - Juicy & Sweet

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.

Sun Gold F1 Tomato Seeds - Delicious Sweet Cherry Tomatoes

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.

We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
