Mexibell

[clkeiper]

I cant find any pictures on here of anyones Mexibell peppers. Are they really a bell pepper? I have about 12 plants in the garden and they look like oversized cherry bombs. is this normal? I wanted a bell pepper sized med/hot pepper for stuffing. these appear to be perfect for an appetizer filled with salsa at a party.

The largest mexibell is the size of a small bell pepper, but as the season progresses they tend smaller.

nah, these aren't even the size of a small bell pepper... more like a jumbo cherry bomb. just sad. nothing like the picture in the catalog. it truly looked like a bell pepper.

In my experience a year ago I got what you describe, was disappointing. But I am sure about them because I used to grow them for years. Only the last time were they small.

They should be like a 3 lobed bell pepper about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a normal bell.

I didn't grow them this year because of the situation with my late Dad. Was lucky to get anything in the ground at all.

Mine was small too. Seed was from Harris Seeds.
