Several years ago, I grew a variety of pepper called the Gift from Moldavia. I
purchased the seeds from Seed Savers, but no longer see the seeds listed. Can someone recomend another source? Nartker @ AOL.com Nartker |

I've ordered plants from them, and they arrived healthy and ready to pop in the ground. It's a little pricey to get your pepper plants that way, but it *is* a good way to get some unusual varieties to try. Hmmm, a google search turned up this site http://www.seeds.ca/en.htm which says that Gift from Moldova is rare. It also has a great resource list of seed companies that have heirloom seeds. glances at watch Damn. I just wasted an hour drifting through catalogs. Now I have to go and see if I can find a way to squeeze a few more tomato varieties into the garden...

Please tell me which Orange Bell sweet pepper to grow that is the biggest, blockiest, tastiest, etc. Er..well, the variety that does best for me in my zone 7/8 yard might not do well in whatever your zone is. There is also personal preference to consider. I don't think some of the bigger bell peppers are the best tasting. And I do all heirlooms and open-pollonated plants, which excludes a lot of very nice hybrids. So, with the above caveats, if I were growing an orange bell pepper this year -and I'm not- it would be Ariane. Of the 18 or so varieties of peppers I'm growing this year, only one is a bell pepper, and it's a red bell, Buran, that I get seeds for from Seed Savers www.seedsavers.com. hth Pam -- "Maybe you'd like to ask the Wizard for a heart."
