So may we assume that you're ok with RED bell peppers?
If you haven't ever tried growing Gypsies, I highly recommend them.
I've had a couple of neighbors over the years respond almost with
amazement at how much they enjoyed a nice ripe, red gypsy. They make
even the sweetest red bell almost taste a little bitter (IMHO, of
course, YMMV, and other little e-breviations) I ALWAYS plant at least a
couple of them each year, since we give away more than we use ourselves.
