Just out of curiosity, I may try to grow these. I will need a new sweet pepper project soon. However, I have been thinking of growing the Round of Hungary next.

Sheeps are looking the same but get bigger. The Cubanelles had growth spurts. I turned the plants and I am finding fats one  I know the Cubanelles go from a greenish yellow to a red. I will have to keep an eye out for Mark to test before it turns red.  |

The sheepnose are super cute. I'm growing (outside) the Round of Hungary pimiento Mike mentioned but each pepper has some weird blemishes so it's a bummer. Maybe because the seed was ordered in 2014 and is now susceptible to problems. I'm still consuming them, just cutting around the oddities, but I think I have to toss those seeds. So I'm very interested in how you feel these cuties taste because maybe they will be my replacement pimiento pepper.  |

My next open Ultra will grow Round of Hungary peppers. As soon as I clear the herbs garden.
The peppers in this photo look wonderful.

I did a major trim on both plants. I cut off the rest of the huge leaves and some that were older looking. The Sheeps however were telling me to trim some as they were pushing on some and others were just plain in the way making them squished.

Thanks Corinne. Maybe I don't see the changes as much as you since I look every day at them.

Mark is itching for me to pick this one and teat taste it. So later today I just might pick it.  On the Cubenelle, there is one that is starting to turn the slightest tinge of a yellow orange but the camera is not picking it up. |
