Giant Szegedi sweet pepper

[Hermitian]

In the foreground of the picture there are two plants in 12" pots. Both are Giant Szegedi, one raised with organic fertilizer and the other with inorganic fertilizer. Both treated only with organic pesticides.

I'm not sure of the origin of the name, but perhaps there is a diminutive pepper from which this is derived. My peppers as shown in the photo are 3" to 5" in length. They started in the yellow stage and then slowly matured to orange and red. I would say they are delicious in any stage: sweet like other yellow peppers with no "green bell pepper" taste. The walls of the peppers are neither thin nor thick: about right for fresh eating, grilling, or stews.

As the picture indicates, they are prolific producers of peppers in my environment. No blossom end rot, no diseases, few pest problems, just lots of peppers.
