    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    This was my first time growing Emerald Giant from your seeds. I do container planting in Zone 10 of Southern California. Dec. 30, 2024 In ordering it said "high yielding" and that they definitely are. I harvest them in their green stage. They are so good and tasty. I have used them in a variety of was, in green salads, a sausage and peppers meal, with baked chicken thighs. They were planted in October 2024 and they are still producing ready for harvest, nearing harvest time and more just starting out. It's so much fun and exciting. These are great!
