| 75 days from setting out transplants. Don't let this little orange pepper fool you -- it may look like a baby carrot, but the flavor is pure pepper! Medium to very hot, spicy, and with an irresistible crunchy bite, Bulgarian Carrot is one of the best varieties you can find for roasting or chopping into salsa and chutney. Early to mature and very, very high-yielding, it's also among the most economical pepper for those of us who just can't get enough "fire" in our food! This heirloom variety is compact enough to grow in containers, reaching just 18 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. The long, tapering fruits measure about 3 to 4 inches, arising in big clusters close to the stem. (This position offers them great protection from sunburn, so if your peppers tend to get fried in the summer heat, try Bulgarian Carrot!) You simply won't believe the production capability of this modest little plant, or its speed -- in just a little over two months from the time you set the seedlings into the soil or container, you'll be picking, chopping, pickling, and reaching for tall glasses of cold water fast! Like all peppers, Bulgarian Carrot thrives in full sun, high heat, and normal to dry soil, provided it's well-drained. Easy to grow and a treat to eat, it may just become your Pepper of choice! Pkt is 25 seeds. |
