| 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. |
