Giant Vegetables

Large Bell Pepper Plants

18 years ago

Hi,

There is this elderly guy who lives a few towns over from me who grows bell pepper plants that are about 5' tall, and have lots of big peppers on them. He won't tell me what kind they are or how he grows the plants that big. As my peppers NEVER look as good as his, I desperately want to know how to get my peppers to look that good. Please help. Jasz

Where in PA? If he won't give you any seeds then in the fall we can go for a midnight raid. :)

I've thought about it, but I don't think so. If all else fails, I'll buy a pepper off of him and save the seeds, but I want good peppers this year. These plants are monsters (I've never seen bigger) and I would love to grow peppers that big.
