PEPPER & EGGPLANT STARTS

EARLY THAI PEPPER

OP “This slender 2-3″ early maturing Thai pepper is hot hot hot! Originally grown by Adaptive Seeds this spicy little pepper has been adapted for growing in the cooler temperatures of the West Coast. Some plants hold fruit upwards, toward the sky, and others hang fruit down. Seeds from Saanich Organics.”

HUNGARIAN HOT WAX PEPPER

OP “This is an easy banana type pepper that grows well even in cooler summers. Harvest yellow for mild, allow to ripen to red for medium hot. Wonderful pickled!”

LONG PURPLE EGGPLANT

OP. “Long Purple Eggplant seeds produce stocky, productive plants that bear four or more fruits per plant. The fruits are dark purple and club shaped 20-25cm long and around 6cm in diameter. The flesh is firm and mild in flavour, and it's lovely when cooked, taking on the flavours it is cooked with. This old heirloom variety arrived in American gardens back in the 1850s.”

STOCKY RED ROASTER SWEET PEPPER

OP “Delicious, sweet red peppers that are great for fresh eating, roasting, or frying. Thick-walled and juicy 4-6 in long fruits grow on upright plants.”

SWEET PAPRIKA PEPPER

OP “Preferred pepper for dried sweet paprika. Sweet, 5” long, narrow peppers have a thin walls and small seed cavities allowing them to dry quickly. Pick when dark red and hang to dry.”

SWEET BANANA PEPPER

OP. “An ideal pepper for our short seasons, the Sweet Banana Pepper has long tapered fruit that turn from green to yellow to red. The peppers have a mild flavour and are excellent raw, cooked and pickled. These are very productive pepper plants.”

NO HEAT HABANERO

“ROULETTE.” HYBRID. “Exotic, intoxicating sweet, citrus taste! . What makes it special? Roulette is a sweet no heat Habenero. Normally a Habenaro is too hot for most Canadians to taste – the heat masks its intense citrusy flavor. It is also an extremely heavy, early producer, yielding over 50 large 3.5” x 2” fruits per plant.”

LIVELY ITALIAN SWEET PEPPER

OP “Produce delicious striking orange thick walled peppers. Best in full sun or a greenhouse!”
