I stopped at a nursery today with many varieties of peppers. The bells
were the biggest plants and had the widest leaves. However I spotted a
few cayennes that had grown large and their leaves were clearly
widening as they got larger.

I guess I'll roll the dice and assume it is a bell.


What kind of bells did you plant? It is a short season or long
season pepper? Is it a taller or shorter variety? What kind of
caynnes did you plant?

LOL. The Home Depot variety. I grabbed these selfstarter
pots-basically just seed tossed in clay pot of soil-so there is no
variety specific info. Next year I will be selecting specific ones to
grow.

Give me something to work with, although it shouldn't matter
as the pepper pods will certainly be distinct.

yeah It's just that I'm running out of room. I have a few spots left
open for pepper and tomato plants. I'm at the point where I have to
decide which plant gets transplanted to a nice sized sunny spot and
which go to transplant heaven. This particular plant, which I think is
a bell(red), would be the best one I have. The other bells are at
least a week or two of growth behind it.
