Every year I harvest seeds for the following year and these seeds are from my 2023 harvest. The seeds are from the peppers in the pictures. These are open pollinated so there may be some variation in the peppers size and shape, but I have been saving and using these seeds for several years and they are pretty stable and typically pretty uniform. These seeds are hand picked from the best peppers from the harvest because I use these exact seeds to grow my crops. These seeds are legit and usually have a high gemination rate. I highly recommend using heat mats and humidification domes when starting hot pepper seeds. I also would recommend starting these seeds indoors a couple months before you plan on putting them outside for the season. Generally speaking, the hotter the pepper the longer it takes for the seeds to germinate so be patient.
I am a small time urban farmer. I don't use any pesticides or chemicals in my grow so they are organic, but I am not a "certified organic" grower because I don't feel the label actually represents quality. I believe there are way too many things out there that say "certified organic" that are junk and probably not actually organic. I take pride in my grow and have a passion for high quality peppers and I want to provide the same to my customers.
