| 65 days. Get ready for big, long, delicious harvests of crisp, tender, thick-walled green bells with Gusto, the open-pollinated Pepper that behaves like a high-powered hybrid! You will love the flavor of these Peppers and appreciate the super-easy growth of this tough little plant! Gusto is a blocky green bell about 4½ by 4 inches wide, maturing over a long, long summer season. Unlike some varieties that set fruit to ripen all at once, Gusto matures a few fruit every day for weeks on end, so that you can actually eat it all (rather than bringing a basket for the "help yourself" table at church or begging your neighbors to take the last 2 dozen off your hands!). And with flavor like this, you'll want to savor every bite -- Gusto is crisp and sweet with a good peppery bite, delicious right off the plant or cooked in your favorite dishes. Gusto is an open-pollinated variety, and most O-Ps tend to be short on vigor and yields, but not this one! It is a VERY high-yielding pepper, and the plant itself is as weather-tough and adaptable as any I've seen. Measuring up to 2 feet high and 12 to 16 inches wide, this is a Pepper that will grow in gardens where others have failed or yielded just a few disappointing fruits. Resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus, it is a first-rate variety for the new gardener to try, and all pros should give it a whirl just to see what a really superb O-P can do! Pkt is 25 seeds. |
