The listing, Sweet Pepper Madness #2 has ended.

Tired of the same-old-same-old bell peppers? Here's your chance to try some interesting - and rare - heirloom sweet peppers. I bought these seeds from Sandhill Preservation Center (they're doing great work to preserve the genetic heritage of our food crops) - and they sent me a LOT of seeds - so here I am: passing the bounty on to you! What you'll get is 10 each of the following 4 varieties:

* Odessa Market Sweet Pepper (87 days) This pepper comes from the Black Sea city of Odessa in Ukraine. A great tasting, top-shaped pepper that starts out bright lime green, turning orange and then red. Short plants produce fruit all summer, and this variety is dependable even in the north. A good variety for growing in pots. (this one is shown in pic #1 & 2)
* Georgescu Chocolate: 80 days. (Sweet Bell) A fine pepper from Romania. Green fruits mature dark salmon-pink to a rich chocolate-brown in a fairly short season. Compact plants produce an elongated bell-type fruit to 5 inches long, blunt on the blossom end, not quite bull's-horn shape. Very productive. (pic #3)
* Gozogled: 80 days. (Sweet Paprika) Small to medium size pointy pepper. Ripens to a nice red, heavy yields. An heirloom from Bulgaria. A very good, mild paprika type, shorter & fatter than Hungarian Paprika, excellent for drying for paprika.
* Sirenevyi: 75 days. (Sweet Non-Bell) A superb sweet pepper that is very early & high yielding. Starts out a bright purple and eventually turns a deep purple/red. Very thick walled and very mild and sweet. (very rare - no one has a pic of this).
That's a total of 40 organically grown seeds - plenty peppers!
Sorry I don't have more pictures - these are pretty RARE and nobody seems to have photographed them...I'm looking forward to seeing how they grow - and taste!

BONUS! GIN will get you a 5th variety!
Ampuis: 60 days. (Sweet Bell) Very early to turn red, thin walled, squatty and ribbed pepper, small to medium size, very prolific. (pic #4, 10 seeds)
