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.

I grow 3 or 4 different Jalapeños some are hot and some have no heat. When
we make salsa I control the heat with Serrano's. Jalapeños are in my IMHO
the best pepper and I grow about 20 different kinds. I like the yellow
banana's also I cut them open fill them with onions sauté them in butter put
a little lime on them man that's good with a beer on a Sunday afternoon.
