That's them. I'd forgotten about that. Mine never got more than about
6 inches tall (planted late), but each plant was constantly LOADED with
peppers AND blossoms (pick one pepper and five blossoms replace it, or
so it seemed).

And, if I remember correctly, they ripened very quickly. Either that,
or there were just so many on the bush that I got mixed up...don't
remember for sure. I definitely remember picking about a handful just
about every day.
Do you know where I can get some of these next year?
