I have tried and tried to grow bells with little success and have decided to switch to 99% non-bell for my sweet peppers. I grew Cubanelle peppers last season and they did very well for me.

Funny thing I can not grow bell pepppers, but my brother last year(his first year gardening), grow the most beautiful and productive bell peppers(California) I have every seen. Beginners luck!!

BP's are just weird...My Husband can grow a few varieties but they never seem to do as well as the non-BP. If you are just going to chop them up anyway...who cares? And the Marconi's and Aconcagua are great to stuff! One Aconcaqua will feed 2 people! My husband cuts a small hole in the side and fills them with a pastry bag if it's cream cheese or a little bigger hole and fills them with a spoon for regular pepper stuffing. He dose not bother to take the seeds out. He fills Jalapenios the same way for poppers. He scorches them with a blow torch and removes the skins.
