Tenderness from Andrey

Earl · August 10, 2007

This is the best fresh eating pepper I've ever had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into! Andrey, thank you very very much!!!

It has a slight bell pepper taste, oh so tender, and it's crunchy like an apple. First bell type I've every just munched on like it was an apple. I love this pepper. Next year I may grow twenty plants! My O' Me! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! ANDREY!!!!!!!!

Dear Earl, my big pleasure!

I have many more sweeties to share with all of you as my part of the world is the right place to looking for sweet peppers 'cause we usually grow 1-2 chilies and a bunch of sweeties for sweet vitamines in the fall

How about a photo of Nezhnost (Tenderness) or some?

Andrey, again thanks! And my wife Kathy says to tell you thanks also, she loves Tenderness! You are the best Ambassador your country has ever produced. We need more people of your caliber from around the world.

Comparing it to Gypsy, a popular American hybrid of similar look and size, Tenderness put it to shame. So tell me, as I want to save seeds, at what stage of fruit growth should I save the seeds? Does it change color from the pale green to red or such?

Yes, I took some pictures.

(hands over my eyes) I DO NOT need- I do not need more seed.............................................. ..... Ok off to pm Andrey

I have fell in love this season with Tollis Sweet Italian and my husband loves it as well.

Earl, thanks again. Will keep working on it but still not via our Belarusian International Affairs Ministry

Really nice pictures and a very good question about sweet pepper seedsaving. What I usually do to save seeds from them is let the most typical in size and color fruit to overripe on a plant or cut fruits in green>typical final color stage and let them get overmatured at home (when their skin became aged and pursy). Then cut this fruit in 2 pieces, give a freedom to all healthy looking seeds and dry them.

As for Nezhnost ("Tenderness" in English) final color, yes, it turns red after pale green.

Rena, anytime you ask me anything you're welcome
