For us banana peppers grow like weeds. Multiple pounds of peppers per plant and we barely had to do more than start them, plant them and harvest.

I heard the Anaheim are great for frying… I keep meaning to try them.Not sure if most of you would consider it a sweet pepper haha but Anaheim did the best for me last year. Was able to get a few pounds off a single plant all summer, very productive and no issues. Second would probably be banana peppers, those also did just as good for me but they started off a bit slow!

Someone else recommended Corno Di Toro Rosso to me as Carmen, seems they have the same name. Also it is Bull’s Horn? But it sounds like a good Italian pepper.
I tried growing Ajvarski last year and it didn’t have a chance to take off, but I have too many recommendations for it, so I’m going to try it again.
Someone else recommended Lesya as well and I’ve seen it offered, so I think I’ll check it out.
A bunch of recommendations for Shishito and Jimmy Nardello as well.
A surprising number of recommendations for Banana peppers. They were never my favorite from the store, but maybe home grown are a lot better, or I’ve been eating them wrong.
Appreciate all the recommendations everyone!

Shishito peppers are good but I find they are more seeds than fruit sometimes. Banana peppers depend on the variety and growing condition.

Banana peppers I find easier to grow but don't have the thick walls I need for my pepper sauces. Is anyone aware of a thicker walled sweet banana type pepper? it would be nice to have the reliability and production of the banana with the heft of a bell
