2 reasons I won’t...
1). No heat-why grow jalapeño peppers if they don’t have heat. Just use other types.
2). Will not pay Bonnie’s inflated prices. (Yes, I squeak when I walk)
I share those sentiments. On the rare occasion that I buy pepper plants (as I will this year) there is a local family-owned greenhouse that sells a fairly good selection of heirlooms.Amen! I also don't like the monopoly they have on the home gardening industry right now....can't find a single commercial outlet that doesn't stock only Bonnie plants. I go to small mom and pop nursery owners now if needing bedding plants.
4-4.5" X 1-1.5", slightly tapered, thin walls. Deep red when ripe, very sweet & crunchy. Short DTM to ripe, mine started at 85 days & continued for a long period. VERY heavy yield, they just kept coming. I'm not usually a fan of thin-walled peppers, but Melrose made quite an impression, I gave lots away to friends & family.Tell me about Melrose. Growing for the first time.
