Oh! I sometimes grow Giant Marconi, for which I have little demand. I
put one or two in each bag and then they're gone. Nice looking pepper,
but people just don't pick it up voluntarily. Of course, then I have
to deal with many "Is this hot?" questions.

Other of my favorites: Blushing Beauty gives at least three different
not green colors. Tequila gives a couple of not green colors; it's
first color is a striking purple. Those two plus a green to red
variety yield a wide selection of colors.

Another of my self flagellation choices is MexiBell, a semi-hot bell. I
like to eat/use the pepper, but it is a PITA to sell and I can't mix it
in with the sweet peppers.
