I liked the Lady Bell variety so much last year that I looked for seedlings again this spring and was happy to have found them. In my opinion, the best green bell type I have ever grown. Nice plants set peppers just the right size for stuffing or anything else one might like to try. I always pick mine green, so I really can't say anything about them when they're red.

I got a Lady Bell starter plant this year- a very green vigorous looking plant! High hopes! August update: Hopes dashed. Several fruit lost to end rot, setting very few peppers, those I got don't get very big, nowhere near the size of peppers you buy anywhere. I am not impressed. Plant looks healthy and good sized. Still, it's only one plant and one year, not a fair trial.

I found really nicely sized Lady Bell pepper seedlings this spring at a local nursery so had to buy and plant them. I think these are a very nice green bell for cooking or eating fresh. Would plant them again next year if I see seedlings.

Great production of medium sized bell peppers.
