Grown this year - Johnsons "World Kitchen" seed. Quote from back of
packet: "Long and pointed with thin skins, very sweet flesh, and the
benefit of very few seeds".

It germinated well, and has set quite a bit of fruit.

Just harvested the first one. Looked the part, but is considerably
hotter than a jalapeño!!! Anyone else growing this from Johnsons seed?

No, but Romano are reputed to be one of the hottest, I thought they were
chilli capsicum and not a pepper. (?)
Good job you didn't eat a seed, or did you? Ouch!

There's a problem?

Jalapenos are very mild. The difference between sweet peppers and
chillis is as much a matter of variety as anything alse, and there
is no hard and fast boundary between them, though I believe that
some species rarely have sweet forms.
