Aleppo (80-90 days) Capsicum annum Hailing from Aleppo, Syria, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities (since the 6th century BCE). We are pleased to introduce this heirloom from the old Silk Road and consider our brothers and sisters in Syria whose lives have been disrupted by the civil war there and envision peace prevailing. Although common in the Middle East, its use in the United States outside Armenian, Syrian and Turkish immigrant communities was rare until the 20th century. Typically used dried, its burgundy pods possess a fruity, raisin-like flavor with undertones of cumin. Plants can grow to 4 feet tall, so staking is necessary at times. Fruits are a deep brick red, 4-6” long, with a blunt-lobed tip reminiscent of a bell peppers lobes. 10,000 SHU. HEIRLOOM. DBF Packet: (2/5 g ≈ 60 seeds)  Bulk: 1g ( ~100 seeds)  ...

PEPPER - Chimayó Capsicum annuum (75 days)   This was shared with us by seed grower, Sebastian Aguilar, who farmed in New Mexico where this was a popular variety.  Chimayó chilies are unpredictable. A single plant might produce some chilies as long as six or seven inches and many more that are shorter; a few might be straight and skinny, and some will be bent oddly into curlicues. Delicious flavor. Chimayó chilies make great red Chile sauce. It tastes sweet and then hot. SHU – 4-6,000.  Packet ( 2/5 g ≈ 30 seeds) 1 g ( ~100 seeds)...
