Got my plants from chileplants.com

As always, they look fantastic.  This is the 4th or 5th year I've purchased from them.  Great variety to choose from.  I live in North Carolina so I'll be putting these out soon in fabric pots, last year I got a really good crop from 12 plants.  Anyone else use these folks for their pepper crops?  Good, bad impressions?
 
Here's what I bought:
 
AURORA/HABANERO FRANCISCA/HABANERO RED DOMINICA/JALAPENO EARLY/JALAPENO GIGANTIA HYBRID/JALAPENO PURPLE/PEPERONCINI/SCOTCH BONNET CHOCOLATE/SCOTCH BONNET MOA RED/SCOTCH BONNET MOA YELLOW/THAI RED
 
I wish I could show you a picture but google photos apparently doesn't allow linking.  They are green and about 8-10 inches tall, all look good.
 
 
Yes!!!!!!!

I'm likely visiting the farm on their opening day, April 15. I've always been happy with their plants. They're also very friendly, helpful people.

Agreed, I need to make it up there one of these years, it would be like walking into heaven!
 
I bought some plants a couple years back, when I got a late start on seeds, and wanted to take advantage of early season weather. They did a really nice job. Packaging was phenomenal, and everything bounced back within 48 hours after unpacking.
.
I don't like to order live plants, but if I had to do it again, they'd definitely be my go-to.
 
Not trying to hijack this thread but I just received my plants from Piedmont Farms, they also look just like the plants above. I got 2 new to me plants this year, Ghengis Khan Brain and 7Pot Wreckingball  Got plants from piedmont last year also, very satisfied!
 
Thanks so much for posting that, I had no idea that place existed and it an hour away, I will be visiting very soon!
 
Ordered from chileplants.com (Cross County Nurseries) for the first time last year.  I ordered 4 peppers (Naga Purple, 7 Pot Bubblegum, Fatalli, and Hab Francisca along with 2 tomato plants.  All arrived when promised and healthy.  Had an amazing bumper crop, with one of the best problems for a grower to have, which is what to do with all the peppers and tomatoes I have?
 
Just received my shipment from them a few days ago for this year, with 3 peppers (Thai Yellow, Orozco, and Anaheim TMR23), along with 3 tomato plants.  We are just coming off a unusual heat wave for early spring here in N.J., with the last three days with highs around 90 degrees F.  The plants were on the UPS truck for most of the day.  And they arrived alive and intact, albeit a little droopy.  I immediately transplanted them in to some larger pots for a bit of artificial light and hardening over the next week or so before they go in the ground.  The rootballs of all the plants I received were still nice and damp, so after moving into the new temp pots I only gave them a small drink.  In just a few short hours, all the plants perked up nicely.  A bit of lower leaf droop remained on two of the tomato plants, so I just snipped them off so they wouldn't sit on the soil surface.
 
Bottom line comes down to this.  If you are considering chileplants.com (CCN) for peppers, tomatoes, or eggplants, I highly recommend that you order with confidence.  Or better yet, if you live in the Tri-State area., or eastern PA, pay them a visit in Stockton, N.J.
 
Best wishes for a healthy growing season and a large harvest to all in 2017.

I've ordered from Piedmont and Chileplannts.com. Both do the packing the right way! Awesome even if it is a bit pricey.
