Superb sweetness. Mad I didn't have more!
by Pappy Rika
I was amazed at the thick, crunchy, sweet flesh. Zero heat and full sweet. I grew them for the first time last year and only had three of these plants. I've bumped that up to sixteen. I want to slice them for freezing, and also dehydrating. The sweet, dehydrated slivers were great to snack on. I can't remember if they need staking, but I grow my peppers in a tight, block arrangement to save space. I just use a stake on each corner and run a line around the outside of the block of plants. They support themselves on the inside.
Not my favorite.

I can never get any flavor out of this variety. They're always bland and watery for me, and don't ripen up to vivid colors. Wouldn't recommend for northern Illinois I guess. I put them in tomato cages otherwise they fall over and rot, so they are prolific at least.
Excellent! I will definitely grow these every year.

Excellent peppers! They start early, produce many peppers. Are great for eating, but wait until they turn orange to dehydrate and make into paprika.
