| Have planted these for several years now and have had great success with them. Easy to grow and produce an abundant crop of large. blocky fruits over a long period. Peppers can be tough to grow in New Hampshire, but these have done exceptionally well in dry, hot summers as well as in cool, wet summers. They produce right up until frost and freeze very well. However, seeds are getting hard to find. Found them this year only at Park Seed.\r\nSEPTEMBER 2019 UPDATE: Despite a wet spring and a very hot summer, these finally came around and produced another bumper crop. Mid-September and I still have something like 30 peppers on 6 plants. |

| Tried this for the first time in 2013. Had great success - in fact it was my first successful attempt at growing a decent pepper. However, the few that I left to turn red, never did. Other than that, they were great for stuffing and freezing.
Grew them again in 2014 and had a bumper crop! Some plants had as many as 12 large peppers. |
