Pepper seeds from Hatch NM
 
I used to have a site that sold peppers seeds from Hatch. I can't find it now. Does anyone else have any clue what I am talking about? This is quite vexing.

If you want actual Hatch NM located seeds, here's a source...

Frankly, Hatch has become famous for the name of this brand of chile, but the entire Rio Grande Valley has got really good chile all the way from Las Cruces to up north of Santa Fe. Sandia Seed Co and J & L Gardens have great Hatch type peppers.

I don't know what site you mean, but you might try the Chile Institute.

I've been trying to think of the place that sent me a catalog each year,it offered all kinds of hot pepper seeds and fiery hot liquid stuff as well,so yes,I had to google it

[url]https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=source+of+hatch+NM+pepper+seeds[/url]

I think it was the Sandia catalog noted in the link and they also have a website but it looks like some other great places in that search as well.

I have seeds from a chili pepper wreath I bought in Hatch NM. They are small red chilies about 2" long and make great chili powder. From the seeds I've planted I've noticed two different chili's. One has peppers that point upwards and the other type hangs down. Both look alike. I'll send you some when I get my other seeds ready to send you. If you ever go to Hatch NM, you have to stop by Sparky's and have the best green chili cheeseburger in the world. It's right on the main drag, you can't miss it.

I ordered a big box of fresh BigJim from the HatchChiliStore last year. I saved a
boat-load of seed that had great germination. We shall see how they do come mid-Aug.
So far so good.
(I still have lots of seed but want to see if they grow true...I think it is BigJimHeritage)

TC_Manhattan July 19, 2017 06:38 PM

Here is the website from whom I got my Hatch chili seeds.
They sell all the different varieties, along with fresh and dried chilies, too.

Their prices and shipping charges are very reasonable as well.

The pepper that points upward is probably one of the "mirasol" types that is very popular here in southeastern Colorado.

And Spike, if you are interested in some seeds of the variety listed above, send a PM.

Yah I never understood the hype. I think the fact that they are mild even when roasted helps. I need a lil bit of heat. I'll grow jalapenos until the day I die.

pmcgrady April 13, 2018 11:26 PM

Apparently you have never experienced a green chile cheeseburger at Sparky's in Hatch NM... They aren't made with Anaheims!

the same holds true about the green chile "slopper" served at Coors Tavern or Sunset Inn in Pueblo, Colorado.

I have had some that were hotter than a fire cracker I have grown here in Texas.

Here is the place I had ordered seeds from last year:

New Mexico Chile & Ristra

[URL="http://www.newmexicochileandristra.com/category-s/1903.htm"]http://www.newmexicochileandristra.com/category-s/1903.htm[/URL]

Their prices are reasonable and shipping for seeds is $2.99.
You can calculate shipping by placing seeds in your cart, and on the cart page you can input your zip code and they list shipping options/costs (without going any further.)

Their seeds had 100% germination for me.

Ya'll need to bone up on Hatch chile varieties. Anaheim is one of many varieties, and it is the least appealing. It is mild and unspectacular to me. If you want some flavor and heat you should try Lumbre, Miss Junie, NM64, or Sandia. Even Big Jim is light years better than Anaheim. Lumbre competes with habanero for heat. I blend them for good flavor profile and heat.

Anaheim is the run of the mill pepper restaurants cheap out with when they make things.

I'm growing Big Jim, Lumbre, Joe E Parker and Sandia ( from the ones you mentioned)
this year. Little too early to plant out yet, here 38 tonight, 28 tomorrow night.

Anaheim chiles are New Mexico chiles that migrated to California. I forget the whole story, but a NM guy took come peppers to a friend at Anaheim California way back in the early part of the last century. Hence the name Anaheim. They are very similar but generally milder than the New Mexico varieties such as Big Jim and Sandia.

99¢ Hatches
 
The "Hatch" chiles bought by the K****r grocery company a few weeks ago were surprisingly hot—roughly, in the range of commercial jalapeño—and really good. The big pods kept ripening to orange, and those would be bagged up for 99¢, total. More than worth it.

roper2008 September 22, 2018 02:36 PM

I though I started Numex 6-4 seeds, but somehow I think I mixed it up with
shish*to seeds. Well, there's always next year.

pmcgrady September 22, 2018 08:27 PM

Shish!to is a great pepper to have a mix up on.

You may not know exactly what variety you are getting if you buy some marked "Hatch" chiles as Hatch is not a variety but a description of where they were raised. But beware, there is a lot of untruthful advertising going on and a some so called Hatch chile may have never seen the Hatch valley of New Mexico. Just saying.

[I]Just saying.[/I][/QUOTE] Excellent point, and the company I declined to advertise for above is demonstrably capable of far worse than false advertising. They did blunder into some good pods, though, and hotter than I would've expected. (I saved seeds, but the chiles were picked green.)

Here are some Hatch grown Miss Junie peppers I snagged at a roadside harvest stand about 3 weeks ago. They were green when I bought them but I let them sit in a big pan and dry out and turn red. I will save some seeds and I will boil the dried peppers in water for 25 minutes, then l will add garlic, salt, oregano and cumin and liquify that mix and then add a rue made of flour heated in oil to thicken. That is the way to make classic red chile sauce from New Mexico. Miss Junie is a fairly hot Hatch type variety so I won't doctor it for more heat. The flavor is euphoric.

roper2008 September 23, 2018 05:09 PM

Someone from a pepper forum very kindly sent me some NuMex peppers he grew himself.
Those things were so dang hot. I could hardly eat them. I would prefer a mild to med heat
NuMex.
