"I started from the seed on September 2008 in South Florida, I transferred it to my vegetable garden end of October, start harvesting end of December, I get an average of 2 great tasting pepper a day, average size of the pepper is two inch, and the largest I got is 3 inches . It is very flavorful with mild to hot heat consistency; the plant is about 1.5 feet tall now. It is a great all-around pepper. I use liquid fertilizer once a week with miracle-grow (I alternate between tomato fertilizer and bloom booster). The plants does not get the required 6 hours of direct sun, it gets about 4 hours of sun. It has a very good shelf life. Great for sandwich and salad"
