NuMex Joe E. Parker Heritage Chile Seeds
NuMex Joe E. Parker Heritage Chile Seeds
Taste of New Mexico
The Garden Heritage Chile NuMex Joe E. Parker, a revered cultivar, originates from New Mexico and is part of the Capsicum annuum species. Renowned for its rich flavor and mild heat, this chile variety is a staple in Southwestern cuisine.
The plant showcases a robust appearance with compact, bushy growth, reaching a height of about 24-30 inches. Its deep green foliage provides a striking backdrop to the elongated, tapered chiles that mature from green to a vibrant red hue upon ripening. These peppers measure around 6-8 inches in length and 1-1.5 inches in width, displaying a slightly wrinkled surface.
In terms of taste, the NuMex Joe E. Parker chile offers a delightful, earthy flavor with a mild heat level, typically measuring around 500 to 700 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Its balanced spiciness and rich taste make it an ideal choice for various culinary uses, such as roasting, grilling, stuffing, or adding depth to sauces and salsas.
Cultivating NuMex Joe E. Parker from seed demands specific growing conditions. Start seeds indoors approximately 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, using a seed-starting mix. Maintain a warm environment of around 70-80°F (21-27°C) to facilitate germination. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors into well-draining soil with good sunlight exposure.
Providing full sun and warm temperatures, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C), ensures optimal growth and fruit development. Consistent moisture, well-drained soil, and a warm climate are key to a successful harvest of these flavorful chiles, which thrive in the Southwestern regions but can be cultivated in various climates with proper care.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Peppers require deeply-worked, well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter and a pH of 6.0-6.8. Water deeply, but don't over water.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Direct seeding is not recommended. Stake to keep fruit off the ground and mulch for disease and weed control.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut (don't pull) the fruit from the stems. These peppers may be harvested from the green stage through the color changes.

I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.

I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
