This is kinda what I was expecting to hear! Perhaps I’ll dig up the tree that appears to produce those slim green ones non stop.
With saving seed I kinda assumed that as I had a bunch of varieties nearby the characteristics of the next generation would be a bit random due to cross-pollination?
Struggled a bit with sweet peppers again this year, any advice for a reliable fleshy number that’ll grow outside? Long sweet peppers def do better than bell ones for us so far.
What have people done well with outside this year in general? Not interested in mad heat particularly but a handful of random varieties across the spectrum would be fun.

slim to none (assuming you're in the uk)
most need 10°C+ some can tolerate 5°C (bigger plants with woody stems are more robust obviously)
still would try to overwinter them somewhere where it isn't so cold
or just save seeds from your favourites and start them early next year!
