Date: July 09, 2006 12:29AM Does anyone have any experience with growing banana peppers? I planted them at the same time as my bell peppers and the bell peppers are growing nicely but the banana peppers are doing nothing but growing a ton of leaves. Wheatgrass, it does a body good!!!

They need plenty of sunlight. If you aren't getting results.......try a different variety (or source for your seeds).
-Heck, I've had good results from the seeds from grocery store produce! You can also by starts from Home Depot, Lowes, Nurseries, etc. -David Mason Re: banana peppers

I planted seeds from the actual banana peppers. They are growing like crazy, only no peppers!! Just lots of green leaves. They get lots of sunshine and lots of water every day. Only I did notice something about the leaves. There are little yellowish bumps on the backsides of some of them. Like little tiny insects. So I am thinking perhaps those critters prevented the growing of the fruit. Maybe next year I'll try some packet seeds!!! Oh well, at least the rest of my garden is producing a bumper crop!#@!@!@!@@!  Wheatgrass, it does a body good!!! Re: banana peppers

Date: August 14, 2006 05:57PM My mom would have to be an expert on this, as we've been grazing on her garden's fresh crispy banana peppers every summer for the past 25 years. I will def ask her next time I talk to her, I know she's anti-chemicals so whatever she does it's organic. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
