concur: Weather and soil conditions as well as diseases do affect bells more that other types of peppers. That said Socrates has been my overall best performer. Big Bertha is big, but not as big as Super Heaviweight. Both are more adversely affected by conditions tha more standard bells. California Wonders have performed satisfactory but are relatively small as has Gater Bell. Collassal has performed well for green bells but are extremely slow to turn red. Aladin performed well.
