Bell Pepper 'Big Bertha'

This was my first year growing Big Bertha and I was impressed. We of course had one of the wettest growing seasons on record. I am glad...Read More I planted them in my best drained garden patch. I used like a medium sized tomato cage for support, “good thing I did.” All of these plants grew at least three feet tall and had many huge fruits on them. Let us not forget they were very tasty.

My friends and family were amazed at the size of these whoppers.
