Peppers for sale May 27th- Lots more on June 3rd. With cool temperatures we recommend waiting one more week!
It's finally getting close to time to plant peppers! We will plant ours
around June 10th (they can often go in a bit earlier in Boulder). They
do NOT like
cool ground temperatures! (The
peppers just don't thrive or produce well if planted too early.) We
have gotten a good crop of peppers every year for the last 22 years with
the late planting
strategy. Some will have to be covered when we get the first frost in
September or October. Most of the green ones will turn red by September,
some in August.

We have many kinds of hot and sweet peppers including our very favorites that grow well at WeeBee
Farms. For hot peppers we are growing Early Jalapeno, Anaheim, Serrano, Bulgarian Carrot chile, Santaka
hot
Asian. Fatalii and Shishitos are available too- see below. The Sweet Italians are our favorites and
we have Oranos, Belcanto and Jimmy
Nardello. Also look for Lunchbox mini sweet peppers . These
are all varieties that we have grown here
and have produced well for us.
Fatalii Pepper is Fiery Hot-
Fatalii is a type of habanero, but matures a bit
earlier. (Habaneros usually don't grow well here since the season isn't
long enough)

Belcanto Sweet Italian- A favorite sweet pepper in our gardens for 5 years. In our search for good organic pepper seeds we found this one that turned out to be amazing. These huge red Italian peppers taste SO sweet, and the plants are really productive! We got lots of these last year and used them for salads, stir-frying, stuffing and eating fresh off the vine. These are definitely worth growing. The Oranos is the orange version of the same pepper. It's just as good and gorgeous in salads. (The Belcanto are almost identical to the "Atris" pepper we sold in the past.)
The only ones we could not find organic seeds for are the Serrano, Santaka Hot Asian and
Bulgarian Carrot Chiles. The rest are grown from Certified Organic seed.
