Can anyone suggest a mildly hot pepper they like to grow? I grow at
least four kinds of sweet bell peppers every year, but I would like to
grow something with a little heat. Something milder than a Jalepeno
would be best. Is there a bell pepper variety with some heat? This
would be for fresh use, not for drying.

I like Corno di Toro Red (aka Italian Bullshorn). They are large, red,
banana shaped peppers. My wife can't take really hot peppers but we
both like these grilled and in salads. They must be easy to grow since
I did okay with them and they were the first peppers I have tried to
grow.
