Title: Sweet Peppers
Post by: FatGaz on January 20, 2007, 23:08

I want to grow some sweet peppers this year, but not the 'bell' type - I want to grow long ones.

Can anyone recommend which ones are good to grow?

Hi Muntjac,

I've already got some hot chilli peppers.... I'm looking for something mild for salads - mild like bell peppers, but tastier / sweeter.

I`ve grown Corne de torro(think thats how you spell it),these are long and thin walled,gave a decent crop and are good for stuffing,salads.They also frozze well.

Thanks for the info everyone - I've sent for some 'Yellow Banana' seeds - aparently they grow to 6 inches long, and change from yellow to green to red and can be picked at any stage. They can be stuffed, roasted, used in salads etc.

Fingers crossed
