Peppers were crisp, juicy and sweet
Started on February 25 and transplanted April 30. Germination and condition of seedlings were good. Plants did well throughout the growing season, growing up to 6 feet in height with very good foliage cover helping to prevent sun scalding. First picking began on July 9 and extended until November 10 when we had our first hard freeze. Several frost nights before did not appear to damage the plants. The fruit was large, block-shaped with thick walls. The color turned from dark green to red, with most peppers picked when the sides started to turn and then allowed to fully ripen and turn color Overall yield was excellent. Fruit made for excellent stuffed peppers as well as used in salads, stir fry or just eaten raw. Peppers were crisp, juicy and sweet. A very useful and good variety for this area.
