Re: peppers/what's everyone ordering?

Lots of onions down here, it's onion planting time right now actually. I
do the SSE heirloom peppers because I can't get them here. If I walked
into a local nursery and asked for Quadrato Asti Giallo peppers they'd
look at me like I'm nuts. Doesn't that name just sing? Italian heirloom
variety - loves the heat, big gorgeous blocky yellow bell peppers.
They're almost to pretty to eat!! Almost.
