Hearty plants and very resilient against snails and slugs - which we have many up here in the downeast. Will be collecting seeds from this batch to grow again next year and years to come.

I love these so much! I grew them in containers, and I was able to stake them vertically to limit sprawl across my limited patio size. These taste so wonderful roasted in the oven with red bell peppers, shallots,thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Definitely will plant every year!

I only planted a few seeds which grew easily and quickly. They continued to bare fruit during the summer and fall. They still had small fruit trying to grow and ripen until our cold WA weather kicked in. We had more than enough for us during the season, and also shared with our neighbor. I am planting them again!
