Sure, it's hotter than Hades, but it's hard not to smile when you've got bell peppers smiling back at you. These are "big red," an open pollinated type.

This isn't an apple, it's a bell pepper. The parents, a California Wonder and a Chocolate Bell pepper, made these big, beautiful red peppers with a little deep purple blush.
