For the 2nd year in a row I have planted these peppers in containers in MN. This year with our massive amounts of rain combined with record-setting wicked heat and humidity they are doing 200% better than 2010. Pepper plants love the weather I hate-hot hot hot and humid. But I can not wait for this year’s harvest–already the plants are producing from almost every flower—unheard for me except for hearty jalepenos. My Nardello plants originate from the Seed Exchange in Iowa. These are highly recommended.

I planted about 15 varieties of heirloom sweet and hot peppers this year to see which ones I would like to continue with and my Jimmy Nardello’s are definitely one I will continue to grow. They have a great flavor, though our moderate summer here in Eastern Wa this year has kept all my peppers pretty mild, and I LOVE knowing the story behind the pepper. In fact, when I bought the seeds originally, the back stories were a big part of how I narrowed down my selection from the wide choices that have become available online in the past few years.
–Lets hear it for the Seed Exchange, the Ark of Taste and all the dedicated organic gardeners out there for educating the populace before it’s too late!!!

Yo Bro! Too funny. I was totally thinking of including something about that, but thought worms in stir fry might gross people out :).

Great article! I’m reminded of a certain “incident” that occurred at Houlihan’s…

JB – I completely agree!

M- As always, thanks for reading, and a pepper date sounds like fun!

Joanna – I love that you call them Nards!!! Thanks so much for sharing your JN pepper experience.

Jen – Let me know if you find any in NJ. Perms? Back in a big way? Noooooooo…..

Very interesting post! I wonder if they are grown in NJ. I’ll have to check around.

BTW – I recently heard that perms are coming back in a big way – yikes! Boy did perms smell awful! Too curly at first, perfect for a week, growing out, time for another one… No thanks!

Hey, thanks for the link back to our blog.
Getting peppers to ripen all the way is always a gamble in the Pacific Northwest. This years was warmer than most, so our Jimmy Nardellos (we call them Nards) are actually turning red right now.
They’re great pickled too!

I am so pleased that you (sort of) dedicated an entry to Chili’s! And overalls! Both are shamefully wonderful but add an extra 20lbs in a blink of an eye. Good read!
Let’s make a date to string some peppers together!
