Default Need Pepper suggestions for this year

"OhioGuy" wrote in message ...
I grew up in a family that doesn't like much of anything spicy, so as you
might imagine, we didn't grow many peppers. I remember growing sweet bell
peppers once.

Over the past few years, though, I have developed a taste for some
really, really mild jalapeno peppers at the store. Most of the varieties
I've tried that say mild are still way too hot for me, and I know to stay
far away from anything that says medium.

Anyway, I'm interested in growing 1 sweet, and 1 very mild pepper variety
this year. I'm hoping to find something that is known to be prolific,
because the few times I've tried growing peppers, I rarely get more than
half a dozen peppers per plant.

I'm looking for something that has smaller peppers, but many of them.
I'd like something sweet to add to salads, and something with a very, VERY
tiny bit of mild spice to use with cheese, nachos, as pizza toppings, etc.
(maybe even pickling)

Can anyone make some suggestions? Thanks!


Having grown up with jalapenos, I've found Anaheim peppers less "hot". You
might try those.
