I've kept seed from the two types separate, and have a limited quantity of the brown off-type.


pepper - Trinidad Perfume...now I know what people are talking about when they say a pepper has a "floral" taste. Small, thin walled, and wrinkly, so there is a fair amount of work involved in processing them. An occasional one may have nearly imperceptible heat.
How was your cucumber production, Tormato? I['ve grown something similar , Suyo Long and it was only moderate, which was fine as I had no idea what to do with them.

My local library was the seed source. The taste was kind of bland to me. Maybe I should give them another go next year.
