"If you love jalape�o like my family , I suggest you buy these seeds. We love using them in our recipes and they smell amazing. I've used organic before and let's just say they smell really good , grow really well and doesn't seem to have disease like others do. They also grow very well and to a good size which makes all your gardening work worth every spent hour."
"Little bag holds a powerful punch. Has alot of seeds, easy to start, grows fast and the results speak for themselves. Let nature water them, or water once a week. Hot and packed with all kinds of flavor."
"These were easy to start and very well packed. , looking forward to seeing them through summer! Definitely wash your hands after use just to be safe."
"Easy to grow. Get a good crop. Always have good luck with Ferry-Morse seeds."
"Great good pricing"
"Excellent products"
"I planted a few of these in a planter full of "moisture control" garden soil, with balanced bone meal added per directions (1tbsp per gallon, I think). The seed right in the middle sprouted after a pretty long and intense outdoor germination process. It has grown into a bush that now has 5 harvest-ready fruits. These seeds need a lot of everything to germinate- heat, sun, and water. After germination, you do need to limit intense sunlight and drenching rain. I love my pepper bush and I am figuring out things like aphid control and wintering indoors."
"Sad to see the 1 star review as I went out of my way to purchase these seeds when Home Depot didn't have any. The packaging is a little different on these now but my little seedlings are looking stronger from these new seeds than my old batch I planted. I'm a novice gardener and yet had a large enough batch from one plant to create some hot sauce and store some in the freezer. . . It was awesome! Check it out on Instagram @Putzinator for more proof! ;)"
"I planted 8 seeds, and put them under grow lights until they sprouted and reached 4". Every seed sprouted. :-) I now have 8 healthy jalapeno plants, and am hoping for a great harvest."
"Unfortunately, these seeds I planted turned out to be what I believe to be Fresno peppers. I’m so disappointed. Jalapeños are one of my favorite things to grow in my garden, and I had to go purchase jalapeño plants after much to my disappointment I realized had a ton of Fresno peppers instead. I came to these reviews to see if it had happened to anyone else, and it looks like it has. Not sure what’s going on, but I might have to consider a different company from here on out."
