I have grown Fat \'n Sassy Peppers during two different seasons. the first time I grew them they were very prolific, Yeilding over 10 large peppers per plant. The next season, the peppers were much smaller, and the yeild was much less.

Fat 'n Sassy has ben a good pepper for my hilltop location. It replaced New Ace as my main pepper because of better taste. This last year the cool wet weather caused the plants to set late and have a lower yield than normal (4 to 5 peppers /plant). The weather also limited the number of peppers that changed to red while on the plants. Although I had early blight on my tomatoes, the Fat 'n Sassy resisted.
