peppers: a great variety

Category: Garden @ ECO | Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 8:01 pm

i have begun harvesting my new favorite all around variety of peppers. the Corno DI Toro or "horn of the bull. i grew the red variety last year for fun. The plant was almost 5 feet tall and yielded what were the huge super sweet peppers, almost candy like sweetness. The largest pepper was over 9 inches long and 5 inches around. so this year i planted more...and added the yellow variety.. i set a ruler near the pictures for scale... yes that one is 8 inches long..

until next time!!!!

Good job there Jose!! I hope mine get that girth! How tall are your Corno di Toro plants this year? Is the yellow as flavorful as the red?? tomatogrowers.com eh!
