We offer a colorful selection of Scotch Bonnet Peppers known for their signature heat and fruity flavor. A staple in island cuisine, the Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper is essential for jerk seasoning, hot sauces, and traditional pepper blends.
We offer red, yellow, and orange Scotch Bonnet peppers, each producing lantern-shaped fruits with intense heat and rich, tropical undertones. For those who love the flavor but prefer less spice, we are also trialing a sweet bonnet pepper with the same classic shape and aroma—without the burn.
These Scotch Bonnet pepper seeds thrive in warm conditions and produce abundant, colorful harvests perfect for authentic Caribbean cooking.
MoreA parasitic wasp and a zombie-making virus team up to hijack a caterpillar's behavior, turning it into a bodyguard for the very creatures that have been feeding on it. Sound too crazy to be true? It isn't. This week, we're wrapping up our series on tomato hornworms and their archnemesis, the braconid wasp. And in some of the creepiest science yet, we'll discover how this tiny wasp manages to manipulate a creature many times its size.
Halloween is almost here, so this week we're sharing a little garden science that's part nature documentary, part horror film. Tiny wasps laying eggs inside living caterpillars, larvae feeding on their hosts from the inside out, and a virus that helps orchestrate the whole gruesome affair. Fortunately, this horror story has a happy ending—at least for you and your tomatoes.
As this season wraps up, we’re taking some time to reflect on the garden—what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons we learned along the way. And this year, one lesson came in the form of a very large, very hungry green caterpillar. The tomato hornworm can be astonishingly destructive, and yet it's also an important pollinator. Join us as we share the results of our (mostly) hands-off experiment in natural pest control.
