Stem broccoli has been around for some time, but until recently it has not been available to home gardeners. In the past it was found in gourmet markets and upscale restaurants. Artwork looks like a normal broccoli as it starts to grow, but as soon as you harvest the first crown, delicious and tender side shoots start to grow. And due to some heat tolerance, you can harvest multiple side shoots for an extended period. Side-shoot stems measure 6-8“ in length. Maturity 55 days from transplant.

Fiery hot, wrinkled yellow peppers are related to habanero, and are at least as hot if not hotter. The searing heat has an excellent, citrus-like flavor that can be appreciated in the seconds before the heat sets in. Originally from Africa, these plants become 3 to 4 feet tall, maturing abundant crops of fruit earlier than plants of habanero. Peppers are 2 to 3 inches long with a wide top that tapers down to a point, and are shriveled all over. 80 days.

Good production and truly delicious flavor. Indeterminate. 80 days.
