| Peppers grew very well, production was heavy. Flavor was hot! Plants were still producing peppers into mid October with no frost. |

| We had a great deal of success with these peppers, They grew fairly easily from transplants and had a good yield. The problem is, they are tremendously hot which made them difficult to use. We used some of them in pickles to add heat - pepper was added in whole to diffuse into the pickling liquid. This was best use for the very hot peppers. They are beautiful and easy to grow, but hard to use - even for those of us who love spice. |

| The peppers had a VERY tough start. We lost two of our original 4 pepper plants to an unidentified pest and started new seeds in June. Nevertheless, the remaining plants along with the June seedlings managed to come back and produce a large yield of spicy, flavorful peppers that were also ornamental in appearance. |

| Compact plants produced a lot of peppers. Eaten fresh, they have flavor like green peppers to begin with, then a lot of heat. Excellent in a West African-style lamb stew. |

| Hotter than a jalapeno pepper. Not as easy to grow or as high-yielding as other pepper varieties. It did not look as bright orange or as pretty as the photo in the Park\'s seed catalog. I probably would not grow it again. |

| Did not perform well in short-season Wyoming. I only got about 10 peppers off of 2 plants. Would probably do better in a warmer climate. |

| We grew this pepper when we lived in MD. Fruity flavor with a hint of smoke, but not nearly as hot as a Scotch Bonnet!!
Beautiful peppers, nice production, great hot sauce, and no disease or insect problems despite not being sprayed or coddled in any way. One odd thing, though -- this pepper is hottest for people that still have their tonsils. 2 out of 3 people who tried it raw had their tonsils, and it went right for them. The person who did not had a little tingle on the edges of his tongue, but that was all. The endorphin rush after the pain subsided was AMAZING, though, and more so than any other pepper I have ever tried.
Update -- Grew Bulgarian Carrot again in 2010 in Zone 5B. It did just fine, despite a bad year, and some of our CSA folks loved it! |

| This is a very easy hot pepper. It has a rich flavor and although it's not as hot as thai peper, it has a lot of kick.
It is beautiful in the garden, too with loads of orange carrot shaped peppers on plants that stay short - about 18" I think.
Even in Michigan it is an easy pepper to grow and to get excellent harvests of tasty, hot peppers. Will always find a place for this one as it is tasty, reliable, and pretty. |

| Easy to grow, attractive pepper, but the skin of the fruit is so tough I decided they were more trouble then they were worth. |

| This is a unique and delicious flavored pepper, unlike most other varieties. It is a "determinate" pepper, for the most part, with a large number of peppers being produced early, one of the earliest to ripen in my garden, and not many flowers until first crop is gone, then I usually get a second flowering, for a late harvest. The main drawback in my garden is that it is one of the most susceptible to pepper maggots - a problem with about 20% of the varieties I grow. The plants are small for me - 14-16". A replacement variety I have found, with same flavor, but later, is Hanoi Market. |

| Yes...this is a pretty hot pepper. Pretty not only in color, but in the scoville units too. Lives up to its description in all of the catalogs. I planted 4 of these peppers several years ago and have found them an intrical part of my family's home made hot sauce. The seeds from those first plant are what I continue to plant each and every year. Also a nice ornamental...just keep it from the kids reach. |
