Need suggestions for a sweet red pepper

koshki · October 3, 2012

Last year I grew 6 pepper plants in containers, which was way too much for my family. This year I only grew 3, but put them in larger containers, and they grew much bigger and have produced way more than we can eat...again! I grew Burpee's Costa Ricans, and they are ok, taste-wise.

Next year I'd like to grow 1 or maybe 2 plants. I'd like really sweet, thick walled peppers. I have no preference for bells or elongated ones, but I don't want any heat. I almost exclusively eat them raw, in salads or as a snack.

I might be interested in a pimento, but I don't know much about them.

I'd really appreciate your suggestions for what would meet my needs. I would like to find a nice variety that I can save seed from and grow year after year.

TIA
