Peppers for $1each including Bell, Banana, Jalapeno, and Habanero. All the plants were grown in larger than normal pots. This leads to a better root system for transplanting.

All plants were grown and maintained by students at Byron High School. Come early to guarantee what you want. Many varieties sold out last year. Please be aware that it may be too early to plant them outside wit out protection from the wind and lower temps. All plants should be hardened-off before putting them in the ground.
