Yup, Anaheim pepper. I'm lucky mine from lowes were true to the tag

Yep. Anaheim. I find Anaheims have much better flavor than green bells. Not a hard thing to do with my palate since I hate green bells.

Hint: Whenever shopping for seedlings, don't grab the plants in front -- try to find a good one(s) towards the back. Less chance of some shopper switching labels.

No fooling! I just want to slap some people. We have signs on our shelves stating what each pepper is, people still pull out the stakes and read them then put them in the wrong pot. just maddening.

I've enjoyed these Anaheim peppers none the less. :)

But I do want to grow some bell peppers next year. We use them a lot in our Cajun cooking. Just about every recipe starts with a roux and then the creole trinity; onions, bell peppers, and celery.

Perhaps I will try growing them from seed next year, if I can find some good recommendations on a variety.

I would like to do Anaheims as well. Perhaps the New Mexico "Big Jim." Those sound good.

It is mostly the case of tag switching by customers, kids. It is unintentional carelessness.
People should have some considerations. What if this happens to them?

If the pepper seems flat, it is probably an Anaheim. If not, it may be a Giant Marconi (Italian) pepper. I grow both. The Marconi has no heat and the Anaheim is a very mild hot pepper.

I have also CARMEN with similar size/shape fruits. It is a very SLOW producer. (Maybe it is my growing condition is responsible. )
