Positive	calibash	On Aug 2, 2006, calibash from Toronto, ON wrote: With container gardening, I transplanted one plant early and it's doing great. I transplanted 2 more a few weeks later, and they are catching up a bit, but will not be as nice. Overall, I'm very happy with the size of fruit, and next year I will get a little larger container (14" pot right now) and will start indoor a little earlier and with more care.
Positive	CountryGardens	On Mar 19, 2005, CountryGardens from Lewisville, MN (Zone 4a) wrote: I have grown these for a number of years. This pepper gets very large. Usually 4-lobed. They make a very beautiful stuffed pepper. They have heavy walls. Never have had any to let get ripe, so can't comment on that. This year we have nearly 100% germination of the seed.
