I've also thought about Nardello Sweet before (I think its aka Jimmy Nardello's?). What more seeds......
Get a load of the yield from Cubanelle Biscayne! Any idea which Cubanelle variety yours is? Could it be Biscayne ?
BTW DT Brown sells Atohi Romanian, Cubanelle Biscayne and also Bullhorn but is that the same as Longhorn (from the report as having best yield)?
Interesting, the report perfectly reflects your own experience of general poorer performance with the Marconi and Corno di Toro (that sort), shan't touch them with a barge pole.
Sh*t, feel like making another order! And DT Brown is more affordable than Nicky's.Last edited by veg4681; 24-01-2008, 06:06 PM.Food for Free

You grow in the ground in a polytunnel? It definately makes a big difference. Or maybe your T*sco peppers are really prolific.To see a world in a grain of sand

Did yours grow into normal looking peppers? I can't comment on the taste but Piglet swears by it. I like them for their supposed reliabilty, higher cropping hopefully and okay the shape is attractive. 4-5 fruits per plant is not acceptable for me, it's cheaper to buy!
i had something like 22 plants and had to compost a lot of them
each plant grew to about 18" tall - all were grown in 6" pots in the greenhouse
i *think* i sowed them around april / may?
one had 3 peppers, one had 2 or 3 peppers, the rest had about 1 each
plenty of flowers, just lack of peppers
but it was my first time growing peppers and i didn't know about polinating them
will do better this year

You are quite right manda, the act of planting into the ground under cover makes a vest difference to using pots, When the plants were dug up in January, I was quite supprised how big the rootball was.
