I mainly grow them for the fam, but the fam loves 'Tequila Sunrise', 'Northstar', 'Flavorburst'. They taste sweet to me. I just use steer manure and compost in the soil. Try something other than bell.

Thank you for the names. Could you suggest a good place to buy them from? And thank you for telling me the type of amendments you use.

You're welcome. I get my seeds from Territorial and Johnny's.

Tk, at what stage are you picking the bells? When green they are not to sweet, but if allowed to stay on the plant til they turn red (orange or yellow depending on veriety) they will get sweeter. At the green stage (for most) that is the immature stage.

I grow several different sweet peppers every year, and the sweetest I've found is the sweet Chocolate pepper. Ripens to a chocolate brown. I'm in northeast Ohio and have a short growing season, and these always do great for me!
