Not the best producer, but very tasty peppers

The plant just never really wanted to go. It stayed pretty short, but didn't really bush out. I've gotten a few peppers from it so far with a few more on the way. The flavor is great, though I don't think it's particularly hot. The description does say they can be mild though, so I think I mine just ended up that way. My overall review of the plant would be average, but I liked the taste enough that I bumped it up to good. Despite the middling review, I'm going to try it again in a different spot since there may have been some user error. It's in a bed that does get 6+ hours, but the next bed to the north gets more sun. I think if it really got some good growth, it would be a good producer.
