Test Garden Update: Barbara Miller, Boulder, CO

barbara_tn Well, I’m in love with the pepper called ‘Pinot Noir’—what a producer! Most of my pepper patch is in bloom or has half-ready peppers, but ‘Pinot Noir’ has magnificent spicy large and dark sweet peppers just a month after planting out. And lots of blooms coming on, so more fruit to come. The plants are quite small—no need to stake for sure. I want these peppers every year!

After an up-and-down spring, here in Colorado we’ve settled into a nice warm summer with even a bit of rain. Lovely growing weather. The tomatoes are really getting big in our bright sunshine, but somehow the lettuce still hasn’t bolted!
