Yeah, I noticed that all of their seeds aren't for black plants, but their
front page looks like some kind of Goth garden (nothing wrong with that, of
course). I did buy some pepper seeds, some of which were black peppers. I
personally like the heat but I'm not the only one for whom I'm cooking, so
sweet peppers it was.

I also went back and got some of the micro-tomatoes that can be grown in a 6"
(~15cm for the more civilized among us) pot. We don't have many freezes here
in central Texas, but we do have a few, so it'll be nice to be able to
bring it in if needed. Other than that, I bought a couple of varieties of
gourd seeds and some heat-tolerant Chinese beans to (eventually) plant along
the backyard fence.
