Padron Peppers.
Don’t give up on these seeds, as they take an eternity to germinate. I’ve managed to get some pretty impressive crops in my south facing greenhouse in North Yorkshire over the years, which is pretty good considering it’s a thousand miles, or so, further north than where they normally grow.

Padron Pepper Seeds
I love Padron peppers, they’re the Spanish ‘tapas’ peppers and are fantastic grilled or pan fried and salted. Also wonderful preserved by roasting in a light coating of olive oil with garlic salt & pepper - potted up into hot jars and sealed with hot olive oil - yum mate -seriously yum. Anyhow, I bought seed from Franchi, because I’m generally impressed by the quality of everything I’ve bought from them. They germinated well and are doing fine but, though I have good expectations, this is too early to review anything beyond that. G’wan buy some and get them sown pronto!
