Thanks, Bad Planter and LOL, Dodge !
I don't know what they were, it was a single plant in the garden center with no tag.
But it probably is a California Wonder, because our nurseries tend to sell the more common varieties.
I'm having the leftovers tonight ! grinnnn

That's great Deborah! I picked a couple jalapenos today but like Dodge, my green peppers are only the size of marbles. Can't wait though! Good luck with the rest of the crop!

Thanks, Christina and Danno.
I cheated though-bought a plant that was already crowding its nursery pot.
And...... it already had two little teeny peppers on it. I confess...
But what a hoot anyway to get one to grow large and actually get to cook it and eat it.
My first ever !
I have yellow pear tomatoes now, too, tiny ones, awfully cute.
