This has been my first year growing peppers from seeds and I didn't get them started nearly early enough. That said, this plant did very well, both in the garden and in pots on my deck. It is a hardy little pepper plant! It made a lot of little green peppers that sat in the green stage for a long time. You can pick and eat them green, but waiting for them to get red was worth it. They are NOT hot. They don't taste like bells either, though. They have a unique taste that I really enjoy. I can't wait for the rest to be ready. I wanted enough to pickle, but I don't think that will happen this year.
