I also am a complete failure with growing bell peppers. This year, on the advice of a friend, I'm trying Gypsy peppers. I have about 6 plants that I grew from seed, and they're about 18" tall. Every one of them is loaded with peppers. The peppers are about 4 1/2" long and almost 2" across. Right now, they're a pale golden green color; they're supposed to turn orange, then red. I have none that have started to turn colors yet. Raw they taste just like bell peppers, only a little milder and more tender. I have tried them in cooking, in a jambalaya, and they disappeared to nothing, but the taste was still there. Tonight, I'm going to try them in potato salad.

Sorry about the sideways picture.
