My first go at growing these Beauties! Can't wait until they turn Red and Sweet! Planted about a month ago from Starter Plants from "Big Box"! store. Going to try my hand at seeding them to start from scratch in the coming years.

Nice looking peppers, Bill. I can't find the seeds I saved but I bought another plant last week and I'll collect more this year as well.

I am originally from East Tennessee (Johnson City)...been in Orlando since 82. Just started on this post a week or so ago. Lot of fun and WONDERFUL people and help! I notice you have quite a lot of plant seeds for Trade. I plan to do that as well. Especially, once my Sago's start producing again. I collect the pups all the time....they are easier to grow than the seeds which come every other year but, getting to them is hard work.
Cheers! (And, good luck with your Marconi's)

Okay, so I just joined today, Monday, Sept., 16th 2019, and I have one sweet Marconi pepper to, hopefully enjoy. I planted two plants but the other one died out on me. Pepper, not the plant.
My one question is, after reading the authors blog, is that apparently it should be bright red throughout to enjoy the full flavor, but what about just the top being green?

Got mine from bonnie Plants and harvested big peppers from April through November in N. FL. I split them and fill them with a mixture of sausage and cheese, roasted on the grill. Excellent flavor and size. I char extras and save them in a jar of oil until I'm ready to make chili or soup. The seeds are not true, but are a bit smaller but pretty close.
