- An amazing low-maintenance crop to grow during the warmer months. They also add great diversity to your farm stand, farmer's market table, or CSA.

Nice! I will certainly try them next year. I planted another Italian sweet pepper that I'm sure you've heard of - Jimmy Nardello. Super productive and healthy. Great flavors. Slightly less round and certainly more 'squiggly' shaped than the ones in your video but just as lengthy. Foothills area of NC.
on avg. how many pints can you get out of 50' row, or 100' row. by the good looking peppers
I unfortunately don't have that data.
Brilliant. Never heard of these peppers. Had a great crop of usual green, red and yellow peppers this year and still harvesting. Will order these for next year.
Just wanted to give you all a head's up: I live less than one mile from RCF and I have had the worst insect pressures I have ever seen in my garden this summer. For the first time ever I had leaf-footed bugs on all tomatoes and pepper maggot flies lay eggs in jalapenos. The pepper maggot fly has one life cycle per summer, which is good, however I had nearly 100% loss during late July and early August because of maggots under the caps. Some of the harvested jalapenos even had maggots exit and pupate. Late August I had a few clusters of leaf-footed bug nymphs on buena mulata peppers. I use no pesticides or organic sprays at all on food crops (not even neem) and rely on birds to help with sting bug populations, which is why I take down bird feeders in summer. I also have a build up of tomato soil-borne diseases and had some plant loss early on due to wilt. I am seriously considering rotating out of tomatoes and peppers altogether and growing cut flowers for a few years. I am hoping you do not have these same struggles at RCF as I had this summer.
Yeah the insect pressure seems to be getting worse every year. I think this year is especially bad because we had such a warm winter.
Hi Paula! Have you tried spinosad? I grow in E Tn and I used it for the first time this year. It really reduced my insect issues. I had very few losses
@@jerrysnelling3698 Hi Jerry, I do use spinosad as a soil drench for fire ants. Spinosad seems to be more effective to reduce overall garden fire ant populations as other drenches or bait-and-drench products seemed to only relocate the colonies. I am reluctant to use spinosad as a volatilized spray on anything in the garden, but especially pollinated food crops because of harm to bees, and also I am reluctant to spray anything I intend to eat, regardless of label suggested harvest intervals. I know I could spray very early in the morning or late at night to avoid the bees but I just don't do it. I first bought spinosad long ago to treat sawfly larvae on hardy hibiscus, which the larvae would literally make lace out of the hibiscus leaves. Now, I just hunt and squash the sawfly larvae. Please let me know your application methods for spinosad. I do think spinosad is a useful product for the home hobby gardener, like myself, I'm just careful because of the bees. Thank you, Jerry!
another great video josh i have grown some sweet peppers this year ,over here in UK we are not as lucky with long hot summers but i started mine in january on a window sill and eventually got them in the soil in greenhouse about the end of may and have had a great crop you are so right about the fresh sweet flavours . will you be able to keep the plants going for a early crop next year.
No, we will crop them out in a month or two and put winter greens in the tunnel.
My not-so-secret (because I tell everyone) hot sauce recipe is one sweet carmen pepper, 3 trinidad morugas, 1 peach scorpion, and vinegar. Ferment for 3 days in a mason jar :)
They sure do look beautiful, I'm a sucker for a unique pepper!
Just remember you have viewers in the southern hemisphere --> going into summer
Good point! I apologize for not thinking of you guys. Well then, this is probably perfect timing for you. Thanks for watching!
Its funny I was just telling my wife earlier last week I've been thinking about adding sweet pepers to our market. We do a load of hots but have had alot of interest in sweet lunch box style. Thanks for the video Josh!
Grew lunchbox peppers for the 1st time this year. They really produced well and the orange was really sweet. The red wasn't as sweet as the orange but both had good flavor.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks men very nice peppers
Grandissimo un abbraccio dall Italia
In my place 2 italian sweet peppers is 7-8$
I think i will grow this for consuming and selling to my community this year's
those are some beautiful peppers!
Thank you!
Josh is my favorite garden experts . I have uses so many of his suggestions. .
Thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear that my videos are helpful.
I’m sure you know your business, but a green thrown in with those pints, or a mottled unripe red one would compliment the yellow and full red too and look amazing::). Nice crop.
They don't taste as good so we let them ripen on the vine.
I am for sure adding these peppers to my list of my tray in my garden items. The look great
Already on my list for next season! Thanks for the details!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I will buy seeds now! Not too late for me!
Beautiful crop.
Not too late in Australia mate I've got peppers seeds starting out now and chilli
Yes, sorry I forget about the southern hemisphere growers sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Very cool :)
Thank you again. Your videos are so useful.
You're welcome. Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Sorry to be off topic, I would like to know what is the lay out for your wobbler sprinkler on a 100 x 60 foot garden with 30in. beds? I have the MPT Hi angle #6 heads. please advise.
I live in South East Asia and just bought the seed. I hope I can successfully grow it at home🤭😂
Awesome as always
Thanks Josh, good video. We’re in WNC and grew out ‘Carmen’ and ‘Escamillo’ from Johnny’s this year but out in the field. My CSA folks are loving these, and the couple restaurants I deal with can’t get enough of them. You’re doing good work, keep it up.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Gotta try these. Great video Josh.
Thanks! They are an awesome crop.
Good info, as always! TY Josh
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
None of my sweet peppers ever grow. So frustrating!
Do you prune these peppers or just let them grow?
beautiful 🌹 Blessings
Are these marconi type peppers
Nice video
Thank you!
Josh I love these a little bit bbq’d. Why don’t you pick a few green ones also and offer a tricolour??
The green ones don't taste as good.
Great info! Have you considered putting a single green pepper in the pints for selling? They are delicious green, too, and would add another color to the baskets! Maybe stretch the number of pints ready to sell as well.
We really prefer the fully ripe red or orange ones, so we wait it out.
What are you using for the string on the weave ? Looks like it’s holding up good.
tomato twine
first
If picked green; how is the taste compared to the fully ripened red and yellow? My guess is not as sweet; at least that is how bell peppers are to me.
Very similar to bell peppers.
Are these the cornito rosso and cornito giallo peppers at Johnny's?
I don't know if they are the exact same varieties, but they look similar.
@@JoshSattinFarming I definitely like yours. Going to look them up. Thanks Josh.
I've got slugs in my greenhouse with my peppers. I used organic slug pellets and beer traps yet still had a lot of damage. I've not spent enough time combatting them this year. Next year, if still here, I'll try barriers of some sort.
Maybe put some sharp material around the base of the plants
@@SAPHYTYRA I've thought about that. Eggshells don't appear to work. I may do the thing with metal wires and a battery or that copper tape or both!
@@VanderlyndenJengold wow okay that's an idea. Creating a little electrical fence
@@SAPHYTYRA It appears to work. One little 9 volt battery lasts a whole summer. A guy I know has one yet the slugs breach it when netting or something else obstructs the wires. I tend not to rely on just one thing though, yet my double defences have proven pretty useless. I've clobbered a few slugs yet too many go past.
new camera?
Yes, I got a new camera and have done a few videos with it. Still trying to dial it in and get the color grading looking right.
Grade is looking nice and true. Without skimping on the contrast and saturation! Beautiful shot on the previous video round 15 min in where she stands in front of the goat/shed.
Thanks for all your work on these vids. Very encouraging.

Do u think I can get the seed
