Pods will ripen from a grass green to red once fully ripe. This variety does not appear to be a huge producer of pods, but then again pods are huge.

These are fantastic for stuffing, eating fresh or cooking in stews, chopping up into salads and salsas.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
