Lemme's Italian has been as prolific as Jimmy Nardello this summer so far....The plant is a little shorter, maybe alot shorter than JN and the peppers look identical, if perhaps a tad shorter. I have been eating many that have sunburnt and they aren't quite as as good but hope to let a few get riper for a fairer comparison.
Since this year I don't have any JN growing I feel a little better compensated now.
Sand Hill lists dtm at 71 and JN at 60 and these are much earlier than I ever had JN before...of course a very hot year and it will be fun to compare them side by side next year. Tolli's and Melrose are lagging behind.
