Market Gardener Vegetable Gardening Hot Peppers

Mini sweet pepper comparison

8 years ago

I am crazy about the little snacking peppers. There is also available a Yummy F1 and a Lunchbox F1. All three come mixed as orange, yellow, and red or as single colors. Very expensive seed.
Can anyone compare the different cultivars? I have only grown Yum Yum. Have you grown two of the choices?

I grow mini sweets from saved seeds {out of grocery store peppers}. I searched online for seeds, and never found any. The saved seeds make peppers a little larger than the store bought ones.

I have grown Lunchbox, not happy with the size. Then I grew Yum-Yum, still not happy with the size. This year I grew Sweetie, from Osborne seed. I am really excited about the size. I will be growing them next season too.

You might be interested in knowing that there was a member here some years back who went by the username nc-crn that bred out an small, orange, sweet pepper that was called Crunch Sweet Orange. He offered seeds to the GardenWeb community but I don't know if anyone on these forums still have any or are still planting them. Might be something to look into.
