"I received these Ferry-Morse Garden Leader Monster Bell Seeds from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I am so excited about these plants! I finally had my first sprout and I am expecting a lot more! Super easy to grow I germinated my before planting into soil which worked great. I'm stoked to these these peppers grow!"
"I'm pleased with the seeds from this bell pepper. I'm excited, about this year gardening! It's blooming quite nice. I have no issues with this brand, it does the job. Beautiful so far!"
"OK, I Just This seat because my husband really like this type of chili. So I want to know how great is going to so far is like a really tiny. But you could have this planned like a and three weeks. I think so. Good package. Good design. I think it's adorable."
"Thanks for seeds, problem with birds n worms"
"Had great success! Planted in soil enhanced with lots of my own compost. Plants grew to shoulder height. I'm 5'11". Fruit didn't reach size advertised, but my garden doesn't get full sun and it was the hottest summer I can recall. I'm 78. Prior to an October trip abroad, I picked all fruit regardless of size and gave to staff at a Dunkin'. They were thankful. Pictured below. I'm looking forward to this season."
"Excellent products"
"These were the surprise superstar of my 2024 garden! In the past any bell peppers I tried remained small and never quite ripened on the vine. These monster bells grew to at least grocery store size and ripened to a gorgeous vibrant red! The taste and texture were equally impressive. A new garden staple."
"da bell pepper"
"I've had 8 out of the 12 seeds sprout in 2 weeks. There wasn't any extra seeds in the package so I have replanted 4 with last years leftover with a different type. Happy growing."
"I live in a short season area in extreme Eastern Washigton. I've gardened here for nearly 50 years. Monster Bell is the only pepper with thick walls that grows successfully for me. They even ripen early enough to turn red. This and porblanos are the only peppers I will plant."
