My supermarket peppers are finally starting to ripen. It seems just to be the orange ones so far.

They are outdoors at my allotment, growing through black plastic. They all have multiple large green fruit on, but none are ripening yet. Admittedly I did sow them a little late (around 20th March).
Mine are ripening quite rapidly now. I'll be picking 4 or 5 later today.
Peppers take ages to grow and you begin to think they'll never ripen, but when they do, they don't hang about.

I did some from seed saved from supermarket bought fruits.
The plants got crushed by several tomato plants that became aggressive with large fruits.
I thought the seeds came from baby plum tomatoes but the plants were otherwise.

I grew these this year and got a good crop.
I have already used some and others at still ripening.

As promised, here's an update on my Ramiro-type peppers grow from seed I saved from shop-bought peppers. They are a resounding success! I have also a couple of plants of Corno di Toro Rosso from bought seed The CDTR were sown a little earlier and hence were earlier to fruit, but the "shop" ones are not far behind. I've picked a couple that have turned red but I still have around a dozen or so plants, absolutely laden with peppers varying from 6-8 inches when fully developed. I'll be saving seed off these for next year and will start them indoors a little earlier.

I applaud you for trying them! If all fails, you've only lost a bit of compost and space at a window.
You never know, they could turn out to be the best thing you grow this year!

Thanks VC,
Seems like a few people have tried growing them. Unfortunately, no final reports on the results on that thread though. It would be nice to know how they fruited.

Been hoping for free p&p, missed out a few weeks ago - we were in Cyprus, where we saw some 'Fernleaf' lavender. Looks really nice. So I thought I'd look for some plugs/plants when we got back. Seems that you start them from seed, only a few places do them. T&M had them for 99p though, but with...Today, 10:17 AM
