About The Peppers
The Pot-a-peno seedlings are particularly charming with their compact form, hinting at the bountiful harvest to come. I have been growing this variety since 2017. Meanwhile, the Pretty N Sweet has already started to showcase its ornamental potential with its colorful foliage.
The San Joaquin and Dragonfly varieties are also progressing well, each displaying unique characteristics that promise a fruitful yield. The Quickfire Pepper Chili, true to its name, has emerged with vigor, its seedlings looking robust and ready to bring some heat.
As the days grow longer and warmer, these seedlings will soon make their transition to the outdoor garden, where they will continue to thrive and mature. It’s an exciting time for any gardener, watching these tiny plants grow into the flavorful and vibrant peppers they are destined to become.
