Consistently produces large to extra large, thick walled fruit with abundant foliage. After many many years of trying many many different varieties this is now the only green to red sweet pepper in the garden. |

New variety from Harris Seeds. After very poor results with a number of other varieties the past few years (blossom drop & duds) I tried Declaration this year. Got a late start, but harvested beautiful sweet peppers. Healthy, well shaped, sweet and tastey. Stuffed well. Freezing pepper shells (filled with dry beans to maintain shape only) in vacuum bags for winter time meals. Many others report bad results growing sweet peppers in this area this year, so I give the credit to Declaration!
Grew again in '09. Even better than last year. Big, blocky, meaty and healthy! |
