I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for “those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell”. I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling.

I linked to what I think the person was talking about.

    Maybe it’s a gypsy pepper.

    Gypsy peppers, botanically classified as Capsicum annuum, are a hybrid variety belonging to the Solanaceae or nightshade family. The peppers are also known as Cubanelle peppers, and are a hand-bred cross between a sweet pepper and a bell pepper. Gypsy peppers are a popular home garden variety in the United States, favored for their thin skin, sweet flavor, and ability to be harvested at any stage in maturity.
