So if I keep picking when they're nearly red they'll throw out more flowers?

Not all peppers will ripen at the same rate. Some will be ready
earlier than others and not all peppers turn red when they are ripe. Too
many ripe peppers on the bush and the plant will stop flowering. Never
let them all get completely ripe on the bush, or pepper production will
stop. Once they are full size peppers, they are ready to eat.
