19 oz. Sweet Banana Pepper Plant (2-Pack)
This All-America Selections winner is a "staple" pepper for the garden, a very reliable plant that can produce loads of mildly sweet peppers throughout the season. Named for their resemblance to a banana in shape and color, Sweet Banana Peppers can be eaten when yellow, or you can wait to harvest them until they turn orange or red (and become sweeter as they do). Fruits have thin skins, making them a great choice for frying and pickling. Plants grow well in large pots. Be sure to mark plants if you are also growing Hot Banana Peppers, as plants and fruits look quite similar.
19 oz. Sweet Green Bell Pepper Plant (2-Pack)
This is Bonnie's most popular bell pepper, and it's no wonder. Plants are extremely productive, yielding lots of large, sweet green peppers that work beautifully for slicing, stuffing, freezing, and fresh eating. Plants may need to be staked as they mature and become loaded with fruit.
19 oz. Ichiban Eggplant Plant (2-Pack)
Plant produces loads of long, slender, dark purple eggplants with thin skins and mildly sweet flavor. An excellent variety for roasting, grilling, and stir-fries - chefs love it! Very productive plant grows well in containers. Grows best in warm weather, but will continue producing through to the first frost.
19 oz. Habanero Hot Pepper Plant (2-Pack)
Don't let their size fool you. These small, tapered peppers may only be an inch or two long, but they are up to 100 times hotter than Jalapeño Peppers, sizzling in at 100,000 to 300,000 on the Scoville heat scale. Fruits ripen from green to orange and have a wrinkled appearance. Use in hot sauce or pepper jelly, or grind (carefully!) to make pepper flakes.
