Capsicum annuum 'Poblano'
With roots tracing back to the Puebla region of Mexico, the Poblano Pepper is a staple in Mexican cuisine and is gaining popularity worldwide for its versatile culinary applications and notable health benefits. Whether you're a veteran green thumb or a budding home gardener, the Poblano Pepper is an excellent addition to your garden.
They yield a generous harvest of large, heart-shaped peppers. These peppers, typically harvested green, are known for their mild heat and deep, earthy flavor. When allowed to ripen to a red color, the peppers develop a sweeter taste and an even richer complexity. They land on the Scoville scale at around 1000 to 1500.
Health Benefits and Nutritional Content:
Poblano Peppers are not just flavorful, but they are also packed with nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of vitamins, particularly Vitamin A and Vitamin C. A single pepper provides more than the daily recommended value of these vital nutrients, promoting good eye health and boosting the immune system. Poblano Peppers are also rich in B-vitamins, and they contain essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. In addition, the capsaicin found in these peppers can support healthy metabolism and potentially alleviate pain.

Please note that expedited shipping options like Next Day Air or 2nd Day Air only affect the transit time once your order leaves our facility, not the preparation time.
Pickup Orders
Pickup orders are typically ready within 2-4 days. If you require it sooner, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate you. For bagged soil pickup orders, please refer to the details below. Once your pickup order is ready, we will contact you (usually by text) to schedule a 2-hour pickup appointment window. Pickup times are available 7 days a week, between 7 am and 9 pm. Your order will be placed under the brown tent in front of our location at 7409 N Highland Ave Tampa, FL 33604, for easy pickup.
Live Plants
For out-of-state orders, we ship on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Florida orders are shipped on Mondays or Tuesdays. If you place an out-of-state order on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, it will likely be shipped the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Florida orders placed on Sunday or Monday may be shipped the following week. We schedule shipments this way to ensure that live plants don't travel over the weekend, minimizing any potential damage.

Our seed packets are prepared over the weekend. Orders consisting only of seeds are shipped on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Bulk Soil
After you place your order, we will contact you to arrange the soil delivery. Please note that our trailer or dump truck is large and heavy, with a limited turning radius. We cannot be held responsible for any damage within 1.5 ft of the edge of the driveway or the designated delivery area. If there are plants, grass, artificial turf, sprinkler heads, or any other items within 1.5 ft of the edge, they may be damaged. We are not liable for any damage unless it is due to gross driver negligence. Driveway surfaces (concrete, shell, pavers, turf, etc.) and anything within 1.5 ft of the drive may experience cracking, splitting, breaking, depressions, tracks, etc. Please be aware that large item deliveries carry inherent risks. If the driver determines that it is unsafe to dump the soil in your desired location, they will either choose a safe alternative or the soil will not be delivered, but the delivery fee will still apply.
Bagged Soil
We fill bagged soil orders every Wednesday. If your order is placed after 4 pm on Tuesday, it will be filled on the following Wednesday. Once your bags of soil are ready, we will follow the regular pickup protocol mentioned above.
