Overall, I was pleased with the order. I intended on making this review after my harvest this year, but I was too busy. I have finally made the time to write this review and let me say, Pepper Joe has some great stuff!
The variety of jalapeno and habaneros, exotic and ultra spicy peppers is fantastic. Two things that disappointed me were the yield of the plants, as well as the peppers weren't always quite as described.
I have been growing different varieties of store bought seed for a couple years and It occurred to me that buying from an actual online seed source would provide me with even more variety and better genetics. The variety is great, but plants did little better, if not worse than the regular store bought seeds, but cost significantly more.
Great variety, but i'm not sure if it's really worth the extra money. It was worth a shot though!

We are currently investigating the origin of these emails. Our Lawyer Angie Knight of Grand Strand Law firm is looking into it as well. I suspect that they originated at Tomatoville where some antagonists are guilty of "Civil Conspiracy". Again, Angie Knight is initiating action on this issue. If you take a closer look you'll see that prior to this we've had legitimate postings. Thanks, Pepper Joe

I have had many dealings with Joe of Pepper Joe's, he is very knowledgeable about his products. Joe has always been very courteous,polite and more than willing to help out a fellow grower with any problems they may have. I have never had any problems with shipping orders and have had almost 100% germination rates for any seeds i have purchased from him.
I highly recommend Buying seeds from Pepper Joe's. You will never have to worry about not getting your order or have to worry about the quality of the product.

I prefer Pepper Joe's seeds, altho they are a bit pricey compared to say, Caribbean Seed Co. I also like that PJ's is a family business which I fully support the family businesses. Their wide variety is a HUGE plus.
I did call tho about a much desired seed here in SW FL, the Cachucha pepper from Cuba. The lady that answered their phone wasn't exactly cordial about it. If she was nicer, now that I have found my seeds, I would grow them (cachuchas) and send them seeds, just to be nice but that lady sure wasn't nice to me!
Tomato Growers, based in Ft Meyers don't have a huge selection but are nice and affordable.
Thanks for the post cyberageous,
I appreciate the positive comments. Everyone that works for us is a relection on Pepper Joe's, so I'll certainly have a chat with the lady you spoke to.
Fiery Regards,
Pepper Joe"
