wow mike.... 1 thing i can't help notice in the photos of all our gal projects..the shape of the pepper is far different from the ad photo. I noticed that too! I am getting the feeling that these F1 pepper seeds came from past crops and are heading back to the original pepper before it was crossed with something else.. I hate seeds that are not Heirloom originals. |

I had to harvest the first pepper.  After splitting this sucker open, it revealed a good amount of seeds.  With the seeds removed, you can see nice thick walls that are perfect for stuffing.  So, I stuffed these with plain cream cheese and added a chunk of walnut and two dried cranberries.  The result, a delicious hors d'oeuvre. If the pepper was too sweet, it would be too much. This was slightly sweeter than a bell pepper. It smelled a bit sweeter than a bell pepper. Definitely worth the project. |

These truly are a tasty pepper. I diced one up into a spinach salad, last night. There are more uses for sweet peppers. But you use them up far too quickly.  |

I see you have been housekeeping as they ripen. Too late for me to do that. Mine are all cluttered by leaves.

I think that is a hydro thing. I think growing them outdoors would yield peppers more like the picture.
