Time before bearing peppers....?

ContainerTed · October 25, 2015

Zen, I had received some seeds of both the "regular" and the "Malawi" type peppers from one of your countrymen. I grew both in the same year, and they were side by side in the garden. I could detect no real difference between the supposedly different plants. I can't speak to the tastes, because I am a pepper wimp when it comes to the "heat". I still have some of the seeds I saved, but I don't know how viable they are now. It's been 4 years and a lot of pepper seeds don't age well.

During the time I grew them, I didn't add any fertilizer at all. They had only the ground I put them in and water.
