It has occurred to me that the one pepper I use most of I do not grow!! Rolling Eyes

So which one should I be growing - outside - and does anyone have a couple of seed I could try ??

I grow 'lipstick' Very Happy

originally from realseeds.....this is the best cropper I've found and best of all? I saved loads of seed the other year Laughing

I find it produces more when grown in a pot on the patio (I don't have a greenhouse so mine are sown nowish till march in a heated prop then mollycoddled on a windowsill before going outside)

My outdoor peppers were rubbish last year just a handful of small fruit from three plants. Year before though they did better on the plot than on the patio Confused

. 3rd time lucky? NO idea hwta they were variety wise though - the packet just said bell pepper Confused

Any chance I could try some of those too, please, Tara?
I think the ones I did last year were world beater?? Might have some seed left if anyone wants to try that?

I've got gypsy - got quite a lot of fruit but they were late because of the weather so did not ripen - some rotted and fell off. Tis an F1 though (and was a present from SiL) so will not be getting it again. It will be off to Real Seeds next year.
