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. |
