Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

Started indoors; good germination and strong seedlings. Transplanted well, but due to the constant summer rain after a dry spring, the plants were weakened. Also, they were planted in a bed with Damsel tomatoes and may have needed more room, as the yield was weak. Small peppers, lots of insect damage on plants.

Germinated and grew well from transplant, really great yield for a single plant. Plant fell over it was so loaded (wasn\'t expecting this). Peppers matured quickly and were a big hit, really sweet. Would highly recommend.

These peppers were healthy and produced a fair yield. They were shaded by the Damsel tomato plants in the same bed and this may have reduced the yield. The yield we had was healthy and tasty.

Plants did well, would need more room to thrive. This variety is planted in many of the Master\r\nGardener \'s gardens and is a tasty top producer, but there again they have more room.
