Had to put on the headlamp and cover up the winter crops last night as we were under a freeze warning. Pictured is our fava beans getting tucked in for the night 🫛

Jalapeno Dieghito! A cross between a farmers market jalapeno and cherry bomb (or so I've heard) Beautiful, thick walled, and crunchy. Consistent corking, a stunner!

Many of our mango & red "Druid" peppers ripening up, too bad we will not be at the Tuscaloosa River Market this weekend 😢 We've been selecting and growing this garden accident for a couple years now and we've named them for our city. They're fruity and fiery, a tasty pepper 🌶️

Favorite new pepper of the season has got to go to the Aji Challuaruro, a Peruvian heirloom variety. Hard to say but easy to eat!! Ripens to almost a neon color, a real stunner and tasty too with lower heat than a typical aji variety.

The Big Mama Mustard, a variation of the pepper created by Troy Primeaux (who created the 7 pot primo) created this hybrid that is a cross between a Naga Morich and a 7 pot douglah. it definitely lives up to his parentage, immediate heat, and intense floral flavor, but I still live to tell the tale!

This guy looks deadly but it actually has no heat! This is the first year we've grown the 7 Pot Primo Heatless and we'll definitely be growing it again next year.
