Capsicum annuum
Sweet salad peppers from yet another genetic rescue project at Gathering Together Farm. Joelene was mourning the loss of another good variety, this time a red Italian hybrid, and wondered if it was worth trying to create an OP-version of an F1 pepper. These selections here are the first wave of releases that answer that question; Yes. The genetic variations presented reveals the complex background of the hybrid. Red and yellow Italians, thick-walled blocky bells, red heart pimento, elongated bells, little yellow chilies, were all part of the outcome as the hybrid F1 went through six generations of genetic sorting into stable forms. Expect a little more variation to come out of these, but our trialers all liked the package.
