We grew these last year and my husband eats them raw with his meals and loves them! They were reliable and very good yields. We planted them again this year and I will try to get a photo for everyone. I have also stuffed these with meat and put tomato sauce over the stuffed peppers - fantastic!

Excellent yields. Flavor varies (hotter when grilled with seeds, milder when fresh and seeds removed). Terrific in salsa and made great stuffed peppers (although small). I will grow this variety again.

Logan, Illinois, United States
Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

I grew one of these in 2007. It was prolific. I liked the flavor pretty well but I only had them roasted and after they were mostly fully red ripe. I used them in a 50/50 combo with roasted College 64L and made the best green chile that I have ever made. I usually don't like my own green chile so this was a real treat.

Washington, Nebraska, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

Rather early, I have peppers by June 15. Mildly warm but not a lot of flavor (I note the variety is described as having "delicate flavor", I didn't find that an attribute). I will add more about yield as season progresses, good early fruit and plenty of flowers. In 2010, very strong yield. Maybe a bit more flavor this season.
