The last of my seed starters

@Figgerlickinggood

Holy Italian is getting a lot of real estate in my garden this year. It didn't take me long to realize they're a winner. Big, sweet and thick walls. Good production.

I need to grow a lot of them. Not only are they great fresh, but the impressed me so much I want enough to paste and can for the sauce that goes into my soppressate. For me these are the perfect sweet red pepper! :)

For sweet I'm doing mostly the Holy Italian and Nardello with some Chocolate Bell.... Plus one more the family was growing in Sicily that I'm trying for the first time here. Not as huge but super sweet.

The soft cal pellets at the tractor supply will they work for the Holy Italian peppers and squash plants?

I wanted to try Nardello for a while, just never got it. Does it have thick wall? I don't like the toughness of thick wall peppers.

It doesn't have a very thick wall but it makes up for that in productivity. The wall is maybe same as a banana pepper. They also seem to be naturally disease resistant. Very nice to have in an heirloom. I eat as many as I can fresh then pickle tons of them.
 
I grow Nardello as well. I’ve always gotten late starts but this year is different so hopefully it will be a different story. I haven’t found it super productive, but the flavor is sweet as candy and first rate! For me that just means I have to grow more of them.

In numbers they grow more for me than any pepper I've ever grown.
