Quick note: My seeds are grown, harvested and selected by me. I start ALL of my seedlings/transplants, so you know there are no chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or harsh commercial fertilizers used in the products I produce. I use organic fertilizer, compost, and red worm castings, that's it! I do not buy foreign seeds or seeds that are out of date. I have been growing these varieties for years and they are proven winners. You will not be dissapointed.

VIETNAMESE TEAR JERKER
HOT CHILI

peppers have a fiery fantastic flavor and look like a big Thai chili. Very productive. It has performed amazingly well for me in the high desert frontier at 4100 feet. My growing season is sometimes very long (May-November) and other years it can end in early September. No matter, this variety puts on a ton of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance. Great added to stir fries, salsas, and sauces. PROLIFIC you're going to get a lot of these peppers!

Plus, when I first started gardening I always wanted to grow peppers, but only ever got a few per plant. This variety puts on a lot of fruit, you'll be glad you planted this one.

Back in 2010 I bought my first assortment of heirloom seeds, off ebay actually, from Blue Ribbon Tomatoes. Unfortunately, they are no longer selling heirloom tomato seed, boo! Anyway, I bought 100 or so varieties and have been growing them out ever since.

One of the hot peppers I've continued to grow, that has been a favorite, is the VIETNAMESE TEAR JERKER
HOT CHILI.

From the Christopher Phillips Rare Seed Collection R5--Release #5 on December 9, 2014. The VIETNAMESE TEAR JERKER is a
thin walled 3/4 inch pepper originating from Vietnam. It is a Capsicum frutescens and the pods ripen from green to red. When ripe, the pods slip right off the calyx. They have a nice heat level and the burn is slightly delayed so wait for a little while before eating them too fast

95 days. Plant produces heavy yields of 1 ¼" long by ¼" wide hot peppers. Peppers are very hot and turn from green, to green with black markings, to orange, to red when mature. Plant has green stems, green leaves, and white flowers. The heat of these small peppers will make you cry tears! A variety from Vietnam.

This is THE CHILI used in SRIRACHA SAUCE! You can make your own! If you're into Vietnamese or other asian cooking, this pepper is a must!

Prepare VIETNAMESE TEAR JERKER
chiles by removing the stem, slicing lengthwise through half the pod and removing the seeds. Chop the chile and add to salsas or marinades for beef or chicken. Cook chiles with tomatillos, tomatoes and onions for a spicy sauce. These chiles get spicier the longer they are on the plant.

Benefits of hot peppers...Hot peppers may help lower blood pressure and high cholesterol, and that's good news for your heart. The health benefit comes from capsaicin (pronounced kap-say-sin), the same compound that makes chili peppers like cayenne, jalapenos, and habaneros so hot.

INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
All seeds are stored at 34 degrees f until you purchase them. I have been saving seed for 7 years and this is the step by step process I use every year and I'll tell you, my germination rates are amazing!

a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I have just planted some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 in summer 2017. They did great! Germination rates were in the 90% range and these seeds had been sitting in a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME!

At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties.

WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes ? Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy.

WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes and other vegetable varieties are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes/vegetables, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes/vegetables are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don't stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes and vegetables are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor. This is true for all heirloom vegetables.
