Sweet Golden Marconi

I think I had about a dozen experimental pepper varieties, plus my old favorites for 2020. Only 2 varieties impressed me, and both were sweet peppers. Sheepnose Pimento-- I was very surprised by. My expectations were low. I never believed I would replace my old heart shaped Pimento. I've got an older post of it on this site, with a picture.
Then there was Sweet Golden Marconi. I almost didn't try this pepper. I'd read articles about how it was a lesser producer than some people liked. I'm not a good bell pepper grower. Other people can take my seedling plants I give them, and produce big huge bell peppers. Pretty bad when people beat you with your own plants. LOL..Golden Marconi produces a 6 to 9 inch thick walled pepper. They are beefy with weight. You can do anything with them, that you can do with a bell pepper. Even I can do good with these peppers. Again-- Pictures are deceptive. The peppers you are looking at will get big-- trust me.
