Blue Lake type that has become standard in many regions in the United States and Canada. Medium green pods are 5 to 5 long, straight, and attractive with white seeds. Their texture is tender with rich flavor. These green beans are excellent fresh, frozen, or canned. Resistant to bean mosaic virus, they are slow to become over-mature and seedy in the field.
Peppers have some of the most variable characteristics of any vegetable.
Two peppers being introduced by Johnny's Selected Seeds this season demonstrate this phenomenon. The sweet little Jingle Bells Pepper plant loads up quickly with oodles of uniform green to bright red blocky 1 x 1 mini-bells. It is perfect for miniature stuffed peppers or unique hors d ouevres. This compact plant makes a great container item, holds well in the field, and is resistant to Tobamo Po Virus. In contrast to the sweet pepper described above, the new Serrano del Sol Pepper is a large, heavy-yielding chile.
