2023 Fresh lot Grown in Massachusetts, these are still on the vine and producing heavy. These take a little while to get their footing but boy do they produce a lot of bell peppers. These are sweeter than your regular pepper you buy at the market and do taste like chocolate (so I am convinced). These are a chef's dream in my opinion. The are pretty resistant compared to other nightshades and have little to no disease despite the rain almost every day her in MA. You are getting 25 high quality seeds with a 90% or better germination rate. You wont be disappointed with these I am confident. If you are interested in a whole live plant please reach out as it will be reaching the end of our season here and I am limited with space and hate to kill of productive plants. Seeds are shipped via regular mail so it is imperative you keep in communication during the transaction should anything go wrong with the shipping and you can rate when received. Thanks for looking
