PostHeaderIcon Pepper Seed Varieties

I love peppers, so I am always on the lookout for new pepper seed sources.  Sometimes I like hot (chile) peppers, other times I want the sweeter (bell, banana) peppers for my palate.

Let’s see what’s going on. A Review of Hybrid Tomatoes So what is a hybrid? A hybrid is a plant that has two different parents. For example one parent […]
  • Black Prince Tomato
    The Black Prince tomato variety is a bit on the unusual side.  First, it’s a very different shade — neither red nor black. Next, it’s more of an oval shape, instead of round or beefsteak or even the standard “paste tomato” shape. The picture you see here is one that’s pretty well ripe; you can see that […]
