Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Sep 19, 2013 3:34 PM Peppers are a popular home grown item in the vegetable garden. Surely there is a variety to suit everyone. I like to grow bell peppers for stuffing and eating fresh and the sweet frying types for stir fries. I stay away from any hot pepper varieties. [ Reply to this comment | |
