The tents
Everything currently for sale was grown indoors in Spider Farmer and Vivosun tents at my place in Calgary. Harvesting ran from late 2025 into early 2026 as pods matured. I hand pollinated when needed and tried to keep clean between varieties. Crossing risk is low but not zero, so I won't pretend it is.
Going outside in 2026
This summer the plants go outside for the season, weather permitting. Anything I save from that harvest will get tagged open pollinated, because outdoor bees don't care what's labelled on the plant tag. I'll always say which year and which setup your seed came from.
Germination
I store seeds dry and dark, but I haven't lab-tested germination. Pepper seeds are slow and fussy at the best of times. I like the paper towel method so I can see germination happen. Squeeze a wet paper towel out until it's just damp. Fold seeds into it. Slip the whole thing into a plastic sandwich baggy. Park it somewhere warm but dark and check on it often. I use a drawer in a central room near a heater vent, the warmest spot in my house.
Ordering
Pick what you want, click "Add", view cart, check out. Fill in your name, email, and Canadian mailing address (street, city, province, postal code). Pick a payment method, pay, done. After your payment lands, I'll post your order within 5 business days.
Stock drops the moment you submit, so two people can't claim the same last packet.
Payment
Three options, pick whichever is easiest:
- Credit or debit card via Stripe. Pay now on Stripe's checkout page, you get a receipt right away.
- PayPal. A popup opens, you confirm in PayPal, you're done. Cards work as guest checkout if you don't have an account.
- E-transfer. The confirmation screen shows my e-transfer email and the exact amount. Send via your bank app and I'll post once it clears.
All prices and totals are in Canadian dollars. No GST or other taxes added.
Shipping
Canada only. Flat $4 Canada Post lettermail in a plain paper envelope, same price anywhere in the country. Free shipping over $15. Lettermail is untracked. Orders go out within 5 business days of payment.
International? Outside Canada and want to try anyway? Email me and we'll figure something out. No guarantees on customs or delivery, and you'd cover any extra postage.
The packets
Seeds come in plain brown paper packets with the variety written on in sharpie. Not fancy. Each packet has the seed count written on it. Clean dry seed, stored away from light and heat.
Where the original seed came from
Most named varieties trace back to Atlantic Pepper Seeds, Pepper Merchant, or Mack's Peppers. I bought the original seed from them, grew the plants, and saved seed. Buy from them if you want certified fresh stock.
Refunds, mistakes
If something goes sideways, get in touch and we'll try to figure something out. If a packet doesn't arrive after 3 weeks, or none of the seeds pop after a fair shot with heat and patience, drop me a line. Partial germination is normal though, plant a few extra.
