The second season of Chervena Chushka peppers proves the first 2011 trial was not a fluke. This years crop was sensational from the quality of the peppers, and the yield was still very good. Garden closeout pre-frost found us roasting a few pecks of these beauties and pickling them. Very worthy of growing in Upstate NY.
