This year we tried sheepnose peppers (weird name, but good). They are
meaty and sweet. We live in Seattle and grew them in a greenhouse. We
had no diseases or notable pests and they produced well in an
unremarkable season. I envy those who live in good pepper-growing
climates. This was our first attempt at peppers and we'll be at it
again this year!

I am trying Tennessee Cheese this year. They look identical to Figaro.

Staking is a must, the plants get 6 feet tall and the peppers are heavy.
Fungus, never had a problem on them.

Does anyone have a favorite variety of pimento pepper?

I have decided not to grow bell peppers this year. I am not
some haughty sniff uncivilized barbarian who eats unripe
peppers, and getting bell peppers to succulent, ripe perfection
on the plant is challenging here in the Mold and Mildew State.

So, I'm trying different sweet, non-bell peppers. I love the Corno
De Toro peppers, and I'm going to try some of the sweet paprika
peppers, this summer, too. I'd like to add in some pimento peppers,
as well, and I was hoping for some suggestions on what some of
y'alls favorites might be.

Thanks

Penelope
