Default Mini Bells from the store

Are the small peppers that have yellow, orange and red peppers in them three different varieties or one variety at three differnt stages of ripeness?

Thanks. I saved and planted seed from a package that came from Aldi. I kind of thought they where different because this bag was old and the yellows didn't seem to be turning orange and the orange didn't seem to be turning red. I suspect I'll know in a week if I get good germination from all three.

Those peppers are good! Really sweet. I saved some seed from an orange habanero from the Dominican Republic i purchased locally, but I think i may save seeds from these too.
I used these tri-colors to make a pepper sauce and it came out great! I need to practice some new pepper recipes as when i get to my own this fall, i don't want to experiment with my own crop. I want proven recipes.

The mini-bells are sold by seed companies as "Yum-Yum Mix."

I bought a seed pak from Ferry-Morse called Pepper Mini Bell Blend with red, green and yellow pictured on the pak. From 2012 and I germinated them this spring. Only about 50% germ. but now to see if they grow since I potted them in small 4 paks. Hoping they will do well.

So, Doug how is your germination coming?

THe yellow and orange ones did better that the red ones for what ever reasons. Given the germination percents they definitely are different peppers.

I began growing these two years ago and I'm down to 2 regular size bells and the rest these as far as sweet peppers go. I bought the Yummy Mix from Jung. I contacted them and they confirmed they are OP.

I also saved a seed from a similar store bought pepper (don't remember the color) and planted it this winter. I pinched it back at about 3 true leaf sets and it branched nicely. It's in it's final pot, waiting for summer and is just beginning to flower sitting next to the patio door (manually pollinating).

I bought the Yum-Yum mix from tomato grower's supply, and it is listed as a hybrid. I wonder if it's any different from what Jung sells.

FWIW, I checked out their website and the picture of their Yum-Yum Mix peppers look different than what I get from the plants I've grown. Since I know the Jung seed I got are OP--I'm going to save seeds, that way I can try to have a balance of red, yellow, and orange.

I don't think the ones from Aldi's are yummies. I have grown yummies for several years and they don't have very many seeds in the them, sometimes none at all. The orange ones taste the best, too, btw. It is a variety from E. Europe, and I am thinking Hungary. the ones from Aldi's have a large amount of seeds compared to all of the yummies I have grown.

I don't shop at Aldi's but the ones I get have very few seeds. I will save them next time and grow next year.
