Lander is a diehard Zionist, although I nonetheless appreciate his maneuvering for Zohran. But I would never support him having a role in government

Not paprika, more cooking/stuffing types, thick walls also good for bulking up sauces

That’s a great list! I’ve grown Marina di Chioggia, I’m a huge fan. I even had one come up in the compost last year, which was a pleasant surprise

This is most of my pepper line-up for the year
