Organic Sweet Pepper 'Marconi'

This pepper was ready for harvest September 17th, 2011. There are four more plants with dozens of unripened peppers as of this date. I would suspect they need another four weeks to harvest. Normally from seed to harvest these peppers should take 150-160 days but this year they needed a longer growing time at 210-240 days. Proving 2011 was a poor year for peppers in Windsor Ontario. Spring was too cold, too much rain and no sunlight. Everything a pepper doesn’t want to thrive.
