Peppers offer so much versatility in size, shape, colour, and flavour. They are the second most popular vegetable planted in home gardens, the first being tomatoes. We are all familiar with bell peppers, but peppers come in a multitude of varieties, some of which are sweet and others quite hot. Most sweet peppers mature about 60 to 90 days with hot peppers taking up to 150 days to harvest. Hot peppers are rated in Scoville heat units so you can get a sense of how hot they can be. Sweet Bell Peppers are rated at zero and range up to ‘blow your head off’ peppers that are rated at 800,000 and above. Peppers you may find at Glen Echo are:
