Sweet Cayenne

[angelique]

Hi All,

Is anyone growing Tomatogrowers.com's Sweet Cayenne? Well, I am and I think that it is fabulously sweet. I love eating them right out of the garden or in salads. I like it much better than Jimmy Nardello. Here is a link to Sweet Cayenne:

Cheers,

BTW, this pepper is a lot less "seedy" than Jimmy Nardello.

Nice sounding pepper. I almost ordered that variety this season. Is it productive? I may grow it next season. Looking for a good productive sweet pepper.

It is relatively productive (compared to my other peppers). Actually, I am growing all of my peppers in 5 gallon grow bags that are about 2/3 full of potting soil. Additionally, this is my first year growing peppers from a seed. All of my plants, including sweet cayenne, were very delayed due to the extremely cold winter in NorCal. I'll definitely try them again next year in ground.

I really like this one. Very similar in taste and productivity to Jimmy Nardello, but longer peppers. Also, less seeds as angelique notes.

Most are in the 8-10" range for me, but I have gotten a couple that were a foot long easily.

This one I picked a few days ago is probably close to a foot long:

I grew Sweet Cayenne last Aussie season and couldn't believe the earliness and the yield of this little critter. On the list for 2008/9. Yielded better than JN but it's a must as well (as is Giant Aconcagua)
