Very close to a compost bin so I'm hoping for a good crop.

    Good basic sweet pepper. They are much thinner-skinned than bell peppers, but work well chopped in recipes, or sliced in salads. This one makes its way into my garden every 2-3 years. Not a top favorite, but definitely one to keep in the rotation.

    Cubanelle is a very nice frying variety of pepper. I use mine mainly green and usually end up stir frying them. They do turn a nice red if I have patience to leave them long enough.
