Hi all!
I'm looking for a few mild-sweet, non-gasey, pepper varieties to try next season. I've gotten a few recommendations including Napolian, Jimmy Nardello, Beaver Dam and Alma Paprika. Does anyone have any other recommendations, especially anything that would work well in containers?
I have nothing to trade as this is the first year that I've gotten into seed-saving, but if anyone has excess that they are looking to unload I will gladly take some to experiment with. ;D

I looked through the seeds I bought last year and never got around to planting. I could spare a a few seeds from each packet if you are interested in the following: Jimmy Nardello, Pimento L, Jersey Devil, Golden Calwonder and Chocolate Beauty. I got them from Tomato Growers supply, you can check out the descriptions on their website. Karen

Thanks Karen!
I tried Chocolate Beauty last year, so I wanted to try something other than a bell for this year. The pimento peppers sound intriguing, I thought I'd try several of those since I'm more a fan of the milder flavored peppers. The only description I found for the Jersey Devil was for a tomato by that name. Is that what you meant?

How about Trinidad Perfume pepper? It looks just like a regular orange habanero, but it's heatless. They have a lot of flavor for a sweet. Mine got to be maybe 4' tall and 3' wide. Maybe it was only 3't and 2'w... somewhere in that range. Pushing container size a little, but doable. I have seed if you want.

Ooh, that sounds lovely. I'll take some of those to try for sure. I do have space in the ground, if it would be too big for a comtainer. They would do best in full sun, yes? I wrote a bit more in reply to your other post on the intro thread. I'll PM you my address if you'd like to send some seeds my way.  |

Oh, dear, yes you are right. The Jersey Devil is a tomato. I had about 80 packets from them, and I screwed up. But, if there are any that you would like, just send me a pm for your address. Karen
