| Grew it for the first time last year and was very pleased. They turned red quickly, had good taste and there were many per plant. I will need more experience to rate reliability accurately but they were easy to grow. I rated them 3 stars for yield only because they were smaller than a regular bell pepper. I got the plants from a local farm. |

| I grew this pepper for the first time this year. I usually don't have good luck with peppers but this year was different. This variety was prolific and good tasting. It is still producing today 10/12. I bought the seed at Fedco. |

| Great tasting, productive pepper that thrived in my garden last year, a year in which I had very little time to devote to the garden. My seeds came from Seed Savers, and I will be growing it again. |
