Thanks for the links

Lainaus käyttäjältä: "gine"Probably would any mild Baccatum to be suited for Peppadew.

Oh yes, but as I understand Peppadew is called not only the processed product, but and the pepper of which this product is made. So, maybe the raw pepper is tasty too.....  :?:  :?:  :?:

Have no Idea, but if it is really good, soon or later the seeds will be available to all.

Lainaus käyttäjältä: "Volitans"There is only one way to find out

Agree  :lol:

I have Champion - good, but nothing special (to my taste). I'm wondering is this Peppadew is realy good or just another commercial hoax :!:  :?:

Is this pepper (baccatum I think) so good as they say, or it is just another marketing hoax?

Lainaus käyttäjältä: "tknummelin"Damn, I forgot to thank Hristo for near-professional seed exchange  :shock:

I'm very sure that I'm going contact him again if I need something Bulgarian.

If you need local varieties of veggies that are not listed in my seedlist - ask!
