Also named pot marigold, calendula is a hardy annual and self-seeds easily. This little sun attracts pollinators and flowers in a variety of orange and yellow shades. Those flowers will be in bloom until fall frosts. The petals are edible and can be used in herbal teas or to flavour butter. They are also used in creams and balms to soothe skin. Calendula grows up to 45 cm and is not invasive.

Wild shrubby variety from the Tabasco state, in South-Eastern Mexico. This pepper is very small, red, and slightly elongated. About 5 to 8 times stronger than Jalapeno peppers, it ranks between 50 to 70 000 units on the Scoville scale. They are therefore very spicy, on top of their sweet and fruity taste - ideal for those used to spiciness that are seeking to discover new flavors. In sauces, salsas, or dried and ground up they will nicely spice up many different types of meals.
Rare and sometimes mistaken with its rounder cousin, the Tepin pepper.
Our Pequin Pepper seeds were grown at our farm, isolated in a greenhouse and under a fine mesh net.

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, this pepper does look like a part of male anatomy.
The exact origin of this pepper is unknown, but it probably comes from Louisiane or Texas in the U.S.A., or from Mexico. Its popularity is allegedly due to Frank X. Tolbert (1912-1984), a Texan journalist and historian working for the Dallas Morning News (between 1946 and 1984) for which he wrote chronicles about rather unusual local news.
There are different versions of this pepper, some are red, others are orange or yellow (quite rare). Ours are red.
They rank on average at 16,500 on the Scoville scale, meaning they are spicy, but also delicious dehydrated or cooked.
Its shape won't go unnoticed, and it is easy to grow in pots for example for grandma's balcony. It can also be included in gorilla gardening project to make the neighbors chuckle.
Life is too short to not enjoy it.

Both ornemental and delicious, this hot pepper variety comes from Brazil. It grows abundant small peppers (2 to 3 cm long) which have a very unique water drop shape. Crunchy, fruity and only slightly spicy, its exceptional taste must be discovered raw, as the pepper loses all its flavor when cooked. It will be best used in a fruit salad or in this Brazilian traditional recipe:

This variety comes from Curico in Chile. Many believe that the fruit has its peak flavor before reaching maturity. We can therefore harvest the peppers before they are fully ripe which increases the plant's productivity, making it one of the most productive variety there is. The young fruits are a pale yellow-green, which turn red-orange as they ripen. Their taste recalls citrus. 30 000 on the Scoville scale.
Isolated in a greenhouse under fine mesh nets.

Plant approximately 1 meter tall. Round fruits with a diameter of approximately 8 cm. Rare tomato variety. Firm flesh with an exquisite taste. All red tomatoes wish they were Plourde.
Grown since 1925 in Saint-Alexandre de Kamouraska, Quebec, by Aurélius Plourde and his family. Handed to Jeannot Pelletier and then to René Paquet. The latter cultivated and selected it before introducing it in Seeds of Diversity Catalog. According to the man who saved this Quebec heirloom : « The Plourde is an old beauty who forgot its own identity ».
The Peri-Peri pepper was introduced from Central America to the rest of the world, and especially in Africa, by Portuguese explorers. Nowadays, this pepper is widely used in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Portugal, in Brazil and in Angola as piri-piri. 'Pili-pili' is the name given to the pepper in Bantu languages, for example in Lingala in Congo and many other Subsaharan languages. Very tiny, fine and pointy fruits, they are also very spicy. Can be harvested as soon as it turns bright red, and eaten fresh or dried.

A great substitution to the pepper with a protected designation of origin grown in Pyrénées-Atlantiques! Selected and grown since the 17th Century in a small French Basque Country village (Espelette) for its subtle yet flavorful taste. It truly gives off all of its tasty potential once dehydrated and ground. Productive variety that gives fruits between 5 to 10 cm in length.
Official variety for the production of the famous Espelette pepper, however cultivation and harvest are regulated by a PDO in order to use the name 'Espelette'.
