Growing Tips for Chiltepin Pepper Seeds:

  1. Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep them warm (70-85°F) for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 18-24 inches apart.
  2. Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Amend soil with compost to improve drainage and fertility.
  3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure steady growth and fruit production.
  4. Sunlight: Requires full sun for best growth and fruit production. Ensure the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  5. Maintenance: Minimal maintenance required. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Stake plants if necessary to support heavy fruit loads.
  6. Fertilization: Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant fruiting.

Light scent, super hydrating, large tube
I guess I'm in the minority lol, but I really like this lip balm. I think the smell is subtle, like honey vanilla, and I think the taste is pretty neutral. I don't have a strong sense of smell, but I hate perfumey scents, and I don't mind this at all. I found it to be super hydrating on my dry winter lips. It glides on really easily and smoothly and kind of melts onto the lips. The tube is huge too - .5 oz is at least 3 times the size of a normal chap stick. It has a great lid and there's little chance of it opening in a purse or pocket. Price is really reasonable too. I'm a fan.

Great for Kids, Smells Nice, and No Harsh Chemicals
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen spray is easy to apply, not greasy, and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. The tropical fruit scent is light and pleasant, which makes it easier to convince kids to wear it. I also like that Alba Botanica avoids oxybenzone and other harsh chemicals. It holds up well for swimming and outdoor play. The 2-pack is convenient to keep one at home and one in the beach bag. It is a great deal!

Does not spray
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Does not spray!!! This is the second set I purchased and I have had issues that I was unable to spray with 3 of the 4 bottles. Was incredibly inconvenient when we brought a new bottle on vacation and it didn't work. Company would not send a replacement - only a physical coupon. I cannot find the sunscreen in stores and the coupon only covers about half a new bottle.
