Well, I am finally rechecking this thread...Hope my memory doesn't fail me...
Golden Treasure was nice and earlier than I expected...I only had a few before the pepper loving mule deer doe cleaned the plant.
Melrose was the latest of the "regular" frying peppers I grew...The end of the season ones in the cold frame were wonderful...not very productive for me though...My seedlings of Melrose struggled from day one and never seemed to have the vigor they should have...I am going to try them again next year.
Lemme's was my favorite for flavor and production, next Franks...Tollis was less productive and the doe ate it eventually too. Lipstick was late too, which seemed odd.
I grew Padron, and it did well, but I think I prefer the longer frying types.
Red Belgium is an awesome bell if you come across any seeds..I will attempt to save some next year...I know its a bell, but Craig's pictures jogged my memory.
Next year I am planning on Melrose, Jimmy Nardello, Golden Treasure, Franks, and Golden Marconi...plus a few new ventures...
They sure are unbeatable with some red onion and olive oil...
