Keystone Resistant Giant Pepper
Non- GMO and heirloom Giant Keystone Sweet Pepper matures in 70 days. Keystone Sweet Pepper grows huge 4″ fruit with very thick and sturdy walls. Sweet Peppers turn from green to red over time, which brings a versatile producer in the garden. Keystone Giant Sweet Pepper is incredibly resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, and leaves are heavy, reducing the risk of sunscald.

Long Slim Cayenne Pepper
I love growing these beauties. You can use them fresh for salsas or dehydrate them for red pepper flakes. I never knew how much better most savory recipes taste by adding a little heat – like my recipe for Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce.
And did you know about the medicinal power of these pepper? Cayenne pepper can stimulate your body’s circulation and reduce acidity; it’s a powerful, spicy little pepper that offers many health benefits. Read more about the health benefits here.

Golden California Wonder Bell
These have been a favorite of home gardeners for over 100 years, and for food reason. Very easy to grow and great in salads, stuffed, cut up for dips or just plain snacking.

Jimmy Nardello Pepper
This fine Italian pepper was grown each year by Giuseppe and Angella Nardello at their garden in the village of Ruoti, in Southern Italy. In 1887 they set sail with their one-year-old daughter Anna for a new life in the U.S. When they reached these shores, they settled and gardened in Naugatuck, Connecticut, and grew this same pepper that was named for their fourth son, Jimmy. This long, thin-skinned frying pepper dries easily and has such a rich flavor that this variety has been placed in “The Ark of Taste” by the Slow Food organization. It ripens to a deep red, is very prolific, and does well in most areas.
A highly prized grilling pepper used in Italian cooking. Plants produce many deep red medium/mild peppers that are curved at the top and measure around 5 inches long. Excellent fresh or dried. Sweet and delicious!

Yolo Wonder Bell
Another new one I am excited to try this year! This bell pepper produces large thick-walled blocky fruit that starts green and turns red once ripe. Plants will produce copious amounts of fruits so if you are short on space, 1 plant will produce more than enough!

Big Red Bell
This variety produces high yields of extremely sweet scarlet red peppers. Juicy and bursting with flavor, this variety is deliciously fresh, roasted, or stuffed. Thick-walled and rich in antioxidants; this variety adds a splash of color to any salad or veggie tray.

Orange Cayenne
This is a new variety I am trying this year. 30,000-50,000 SHU. This fiery orange pepper is slender and long and supremely versatile as it can be dried as a powdered spice or tossed into stir fry and sauces. Enjoy with caution!
