I'm hoping for feedback/opinion here. What variety of Orange Bell Pepper
is
the biggest, blockiest, and best tasting in your estimation.
Many thanks in advance.

I like 'Ariane' for a dead-ripe orange pepper. 'Blushing Beauty' goes
through an
orange phase before going more a hot scarlet-red when dead ripe.
'Roumanian
Rainbow' also has an orange phase before going scarlet. (These are all
available
from Tomato Growers Supply Co.)

I had terrible results this year with peppers due to pepper maggots.
(Neem
DOES NOT control them.)


Thanks for your input, Pat! Every year, I have a problem (to greater or
lesser degree), with blossom-end rot on my peppers. Do you have the same
problem?

Regards,
Bill
