Classic

We grow these every year, they are so delicious and very meaty - the color inside when you cut them open is jewel-like. I like to make salsa out of these, just roast them in the oven for a bit and then throw them into a food processor with some hot peppers (I love your orange habaneros), lime juice, garlic and cilantro, then stir in some chopped green onions for the best salsa ever. Thanks for the good seeds, over the past couple years we planted them, the seeds pretty much all germinated so I've learned to only plant one seed per pod so I don't have to thin them, which is so hard for me to do.

Great purple Cherokees

I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
