Didn't have a lot of yield. I planted 6 plants and they didn't grow well. We had a cool summer and I only had 2 or 3 peppers per plant. They took a long time to turn red. There wasn't a lot of flavor when they did finally ripen. |

In 2008 I had min 10-11 peppers per plant. Actually I call them mini green peppers. They produce peppers very early, even in NY climate, but it takes forever to turn to red. They don't have exceptionally excellent taste, just a pepper taste. But if you have short season and you wanna grow peppers, this is a good choice.
in 2009, after I put them to the garden, there was frost allerts, it was 39F and 41F at nights for 2 days. I lost so many pepper plants. Mini red bell was one of the survivers with great shape.
I got the seeds from rareseeds.com |
