Veggie platter sweet pepper variety?
Doug
red peppers that the supermarkets have in their veggie platters? I
bought a bag at Costco today and I thought I would grow some next
summer. I haven't found anything that looks like it online or in my
catalogs. I just noticed the bag says "Babylicious"TM in fine print.
I'll have to Google that and see what I find.
Thanks.

If the Costco peppers come with the seeds still in them, try planting
those. My wife occasionally comes across something interesting at the
supermarket and generally the seeds will germinate.

Yes, I suppose I can give that a try. I figure SOMEBODY must know what
variety they are and that the seeds are available. I'm a little
surprised by the lack of replies. Oh well.
Thanks.

i've seen them called Baby Belle
this place has seed for red, yellow & chocolate baby bell:

reimers has red only:

renee's garden has a pkt with red & yellow mixed:

hope that helps. it looks like they'd do well in northern short
season gardens, or at least better than regular bells.

Lee, you and Paul are truly a saints for doing the OP's leg work for
him, when you consider the only information given was "mini sweet yellow
and red peppers" (bell?), "Costco", and "Babylicious"TM (yeah, good luck
with that one). I was a little surprised by the lack of useable
information. Seems most people, when they want an identification, will
post a picture of the unknown plant, fruit, flower, leaf, or something.
In keeping with your display of kindness. Let me suggest that, if the OP
ever gets around to googling, he may try "minature peppers, pictures",
and get responses such as

, maybe then he could identify what he is looking for.
Again, Lee, thanks to you and Paul for keeping the season's spirit.

Lee,
Thanks for the info. I'm surprised none of the major seed sources
carry them.

well, Renee's Garden is one of my major seed sources ;)
i'm going to try the three baby bells from seedman.com. i haven't
dealt with them before, but i do like the small bells (i got some at
Wegmans or Price Chopper last summer) & if they ripen in 55 days,
they should do fine in my area... assuming it's a wee bit warmer than
last summer. if not, i'm hoop housing the tomatoes & peppers, and
pumpkins... my heirloom maters didn't even start blooming until
nearly September, & it was a race with frost to see if i'd get any (i
did, but only a dozen or so).
my son had some odd tomato plant he took out of the tortoise cage &
put in a pot last February. that went outside in June & had ripe
tomatoes in July, but they weren't spectacular... i don't remember
what type of hothouse tomatoes i fed the tortoises, so i can't even
guess what it was.

You're preaching to the choir, sister. preaching to the choir. By
mid-Fall, my tomato vines were ready to rock, but the heat went away.
Nuts!
