Good sweet peppers ?

^ lol. no tho. :rofl:

IMO one of the best most versatile peppers is the fresno pepper. WHen they are red they are about as hot as a jalapneo, but a bit hotter, and they are sweet liek bell peppers. To me they taste almost identical to bell peppers but have heat that kicks in in a bit. Very deliciou.s I am growing some sprouts now for the winter so i can dice them for nachos and tacos and such. They are very good. I havent had a single hot pepper besdies that that is even mildly "sweet" or "fruity" in any way shape or form.
 
Okay, some of these guys don't know what sweet peppers are. :D Here are some that I think are good.
Red Marconi, Jimmy Nardello, Franks, Carmen F1, Gypsy hybrid (not as sweet, but extremely productive),
Alma Paprika. There's lot's more sweet ones out there that are good.
 
I got some seeds for the "Yummy Orange" variety, as well as Biquinho Iracema and Zavory if you are interested in growing them in the future. Zavory is almost no heat, and I'd put it even milder than Anaheim or Poblano. Biquinho Iracema is even milder than the Zavory, and both are C.Chinense, so the flavors are in the same neighborhood as the Habanero, though very fruity, sweet, tart, and some of the best-tasting peppers I've ever had.

1.Kaleidoscope(spelling?) very sweet and mild flavor when ripe, 2. Rocotillo (very strong fruity flavor, a little little bit of heat), 3. Trinidad Perfume (tastes like a scotch bonnet without heat), 4. Aji dulce #2 (sweet when ripe, with a little heat) gives me the panic feeling like I just bit into a 7-pot/pod, but the extreme heat never comes, phew...flavor remains.
