[QUOTE=Gardenboy;752694]I have fresh Red Marconi seeds if anyone is looking for some. Send me SASE for the seeds. [/QUOTE

What size peppers do you estimate these seeds produce?

I had never heard of red marconi until this last year or two, but a few years back I grew out seeds obtained from a farm stand pepper my brother brought down one summer day. It was orange and 8-9" long, maybe 3" diameter at the top, and basically three sided. I thought it would be a hot pepper, but it was a sweet pepper. Back then I knew marginally less about peppers then than I do now. I had bagged the seed as "farm stand pablano"! But since I read about giant marconi, that's what I've been thinking it was.

Does that sound like a Marconi?

The seeds grew out roughly the same, probably only 2" diameter and 7" long and turned red rather quickly, but I don't know if I saved from any of them.
