Good stuff

These were really good poblanos for our sweeter salsas and a crucial ingredient for pozole Verde which I make and can at home. The plants need a little support when the peppers get large, and the peppers sun scald. As long as they have some reasonable shade, they turn out great! These produced more peppers than the Ancho variety, but scalded more easily. We're growing them again this year.

Great Pepper

These guys have some heat but easily tolerable. Not even jalapeno hot. Taste great, but beware the fruit DO NOT like the sun at all. They will sun scald something fierce so shade them with cloth or only let them get morning sun. Will grow them again for sure. Awesome for stuffed peppers, chili, and meatloaf in place of bell peppers. They take a bit more cooking than a bell so cook your chili longer and/or sautee them a bit before adding them to the meatloaf mixture. You will not be disappointed as long as you keep the worst part of the sun of them.

Capsicum annuum Our wide array of fabulous peppers, both sweet and hot, offers one of the richest sources of nutrients in the plant kingdom. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which revs up your metabolism and reduces general inflammation in the body.

Culture
• Peppers are warm-season annuals that grow best in composted, well-drained soils with a pH of 5.5-6.8
• Extra calcium and phosphorus are needed for highest yields
• Plants perform best when grown in raised beds and covered with plastic mulch
• Row cover young plants, remove after blossoms form
• Peppers grow slowly in cool soils; do not transplant before weather has stabilized
• Peppers set fruit best between 65-85°F

Direct Sowing
