I live in zone 4b and they need every day to ripen - most don’t by the end of September. I start the seeds indoors in flats and transplant. Moral: they need a long growing season.

FWIW, this is one failing of Baker Creek. They do not provide adequate information on all their offerings. One variety gives days to maturity, another doesn’t. Same for descriptions. He’s young, though, and I think he’ll get better. He certainly is crazy about getting seeds into the country, too, and that’s a good thing.

Thanks ,good to know it transplants ok. If you can get it to fruit that way in zone 4b I shouldn't have problems getting it to ripen at all as I am in zone 9b (It's 80F today our "winter" is just a few days per year if a winter storm rolls down the east coast in mid January)


I'll take the lack of info on the packets for the choice of getting some really odd balls stuff I can't find any where else . I can see it being a pain for most folks though to lack that info but I am used to not being able to rely on the info on any packets (they are always wrong for my area lol as we have a really weird growing season )
