Pepper - Bananarama (hybrid)
I saved these seeds from our own garden (despite the fact they are hybrid). I grew them in our garden from a Burpee plant start from the local garden center. I saved them to see just how different they'd be grown out from seed.
Bananarama is a hybrid pepper, which means it will not grow true to seed. It is a pointed yellow pepper that matures from yellow to orange/red. It is a sweet pepper, supposedly good for cooking or pickling, but we ate them raw right out of the garden. They get good sized (8 inch long peppers) in a small amount of space. When we grew it the plant stayed about two feet tall despite being grown in full sun with plenty of fertilizer and watered regularly. It produced several peppers, offering the second best pepper yield that year (behind Hot Lemon).
To give an idea of the level of mild flavor here, my then-two-year-old picked one off the plant and munched on it while we checked on the other plants in the garden.
70 days to maturity
