It's Ornamental-pepper-palooza this weekend at the Rivermarket with so many ornamental type peppers, we can barely list them all! Ornamental plants are bred to be beautiful with variegated foliage and multicolored peppers, perfect for container gardens and walkways! Ornamental peppers are edible and typically hot 🔥! Come get some this weekend.

We will be offering several more types of peppers and plants so come catch us at the market each Saturday 🐿️

Not a joke here, we will be at the Tuscaloosa River Market this weekend with loads of pepper and herb plants, plus maybe some natives. Not an April fools joke, but we will have April fools peppers from the NM Chile Institute for sale as many others, come see us at our first market of the year!!

A young Mattapeño, almost completely white 🤍 Typically when there's little green for the plant to photosynthesize they'll be slow growing, but they're beautiful while they last!

Seemingly they all popped overnight, but the most quick to sprout (day 5 of germination) in our 2nd setup is the Jaloro Jalapeño and the Zapotec Jalapeño; almost 100% germination. The capsicum annums and several baccatum have mostly sprouted, but the stubborn chinense are taking their time ⏰

Jaloro seeds from the amazing reddit pepper lovers community seed exchange and Zapotec from Bohica Pepper Hut. Trays from Bootstrap Farmer

Looks like GRIF 9238 and Onza Rojo are the winners of the first sprouts for one of our pepper setups. After only 5 days of germination! GRIF 9238 seeds from Matt's Peppers and Onza Rojo seeds originally from a mixed up order from New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute.

Reflecting on an amazing year of Fat Squirrel Peppers at Tuscaloosa River Market, can't believe 2024 is coming to a close. See y'all back at the market in Spring 2025 with new plants and spice blends, we couldn't do it without you so thank you!!

Grow a native pepper, it'll be fun! 12 hours later I'll have them all picked! 🤣

No that's not the crunching of autumn leaves, it's peppers!! 😁

Peppers are great for a gameday spread, come and get some for some quick pickles on your brunch and charcuterie boards for the early game today #RollTide

Ornamentals for sale!!

Time change means picking in the dark, but they'll be nice and fresh tomorrow at Tuscaloosa River Market. Lots of superhots for our local heat seekers 🔥

Happy Halloween from Jeff the skeleton and Fat Squirrel Peppers

It's the end of the road for our in-ground peppers 😭🥶🐿️🌶️
