| I was excited to find this pepper because it looks and tastes much like a small slightly flattened bell pepper, but unlike bell peppers (ugh) it gives me no indigestion. This is a nice, compact little plant that started producing fairly early and kept on going at a steady pace all season. Like bell peppers, they can be eaten when green or when they ripen to yellow, and oh man, are they sweet and delicious when yellow. |

| This is my favorite sweet pepper so far, the one I keep growing while I try others, because it produces very reliably for me. Lots of small cheese-type fruit, ripening by early-mid August from mid-May transplants. One year I nearly killed my entire pepper crop by planting them into a bed which had been mulched the previous fall with shredded leaves; everything was stunted and yellow from lack of nitrogen despite remedial feeding; this was the only pepper of 6 varieties which eventually recovered and managed to produce ripe fruit. |
