I have a pepper plant from an heirloom source that I'm almost 99.9% certain is a Yellow Belle (Jung's strain), yet the supplier called it Roma Yellow Bell Pepper.
Roma bell pepper in SSE does not list colour?
And a google of Roma only provides tomatoestomatoestomatoes...
Anyone know if this is the Jung's pepper??
I'd appreciate the feedback, Thank You

And as odd as this may seem to some, I honestly did not realize that some of the coloured varieties of peppers turned red when ripe, just the same as the green ones do. You see tonight, I looked at this lovely little pepper and noticed a patch of orange and then red had appeared. I was at that point convinced that it was another variety until I read up on it. Learned something new today  |

Blue, there is only one thing I can tell you about peppers: they're nasty!  Wish I liked them... |

Nasty?? NoNO....
We used to grow and freeze them by the bushel. Use them all winter long in soups, stews, chili, Denver/Western Sandwiches...
Then we moved here. Last year was the first year I had sweet peppers grow in the main garden. No problem with hots at all, just the sweet varieties.
It was the addition of Epsom salts to their water administered about 4 times over the course of the summer in 2007 that got them to grow. Nothing else has ever worked.
Brook Elliott also suggested that I give up trying to amend the soil in the main garden just for pepper production and instead grow the peppers in containers filled with commercially prepared growing medium. I tried this as well and it worked!! Although in the case of this Yellow Belle, I wish I had used a larger container. I've only got one pepper to save seed from. It's okay though. One pepper is better than none. Now lets hope it's got lots of seeds.

I'll go do that now. By the time I thought of it last night, I was staring up at a starry starry night....

Pepper steak? I love it. The one thing I don't like is stuffed peppers. Baking them takes all the taste out of them. I absolutely love those pepperocinis ans small hot cherries. |
