Last year I planted the rainbow heirloom peppers and also the north star
hybrid peppers. They both done fairly well with the exception of some
blossom end rot on the early fruits. The wife and I both enjoy stuffed
sweet peppers and this season I'll be trying a hybrid pepper called Big
Bertha. I'm in central Pennsylvania and hope this pepper does well here
in my garden. Has anyone grown this pepper and if so, what is your
opinion on it? Would also love to hear about other peppers that may do
well for me. Zone 5-6

Check with your local nursery about types that would do well in your
area. You can help things along if you put down some clear plastic
first, and then punch holes in it where you want to plant the peppers.
This is best used with a drip system, and, of course put down your soil
amendments first, including mulch.

Corno di Toro, Giant Szgedi, and Yellow Wax worked well for me this
year, especially the Yellow Wax which was good fried as a side dish, or
raw in a salad.
