Best peppers

Each year I purchased my peppers from GrowJoy and they always come big and healthy. The yield is high, they outperform pepper plants and other home gardens around us. We’ve been buying our vegetable plants from GrowJoy for at least the past six years and will never shop anywhere else!

Green and Growing

Peppers are doing very well once they acclimated. Leafing and budding out strongly. Hopefully translates to lots of peppers.
