A Colourful Harvest Palette – Tomatoes & Sweet Peppers

‘Tangerine Dream’ Sweet Pepper, you did not let me down! What a stunning bright Orange bitesized sweet pepper.

Tangerine Dream Sweet Peppers grow pointing to the sky instead of hang down like long peppers. They remind me of chilli peppers. They turn from green to a light orange and then a bright orange. They are perfect for snacking and have some heat when eaten raw.

‘Napia ’ Sweet Pepper, what a fantastic red curly tailed long pepper! I managed to harvest a few early in July but Early August and they are all turning red in abundance!

Napia is very uniform in shape and size with a characteristic curly tail which I love.
