Welcome to the Forum, if you'd like, make a thread in the welcome forum so people can meet you proper Jalapeño probably for my liking it's most versatile
I'm a fan of Ajvar... an eastern-european pepper condiment made from Kapia peppers. The Kapias are long-season peppers... about 100 days, but meaty and sweet. I grew pods last year that got to almost a half a pound apiece.
Another quicker-growing sweet pepper is the Pimiento-type the Hungarians call a "tomato pepper" because of its resemblance to a ripe slicing tomato. These are only medium-fleshed, sweet and crunchy... exellent for salsas and salads.
A lot of people like the Red Marconi, which makes a good frying pepper. It's tasty, ripens quickly, is quite large and thin-fleshed.
Hope this helps...

I suppose it all depends on what someone considers 'not hot.' Personally, my absolute favorite in this category is the Fresno. If I had to guess, I'd say their about the same (or a touch) hotter than a jalapeño. The flavor is amazing though, almost red bell like - but with added sweetness, then there is still the mild heat added to them. They make a great base for hot sauces.
Can't beat some Jalapeno poppers, Padrons are good too but you can get the odd one or two aggressive ones.
I'm a newb myself. Have not been exposed to hardly anything other than Bell peppers, banana peppers or jalapenos. But I do love jalapenos; fried, pickled or raw in a salad. I want to try Numex Suave Orange and Aji Dulce, they are supposed to have good flavor with out all the heat. But I will have to try and locate some seeds, nothing like that in the nursery's around here.
I have yet to grow any sweet peppers, but Ive had some very tasty store bought sweet peppers. The ones that come in their own bag, small, typically red/yellow/orange in the bag. Some of them were incredibly sweet and fruity.
I plan on growing a lot more mild and sweet varieties next year..
