What is the best time to remove and save the seeds from peppers for next
year? Do you leave a few peppers on the plants until they're "mature," and
how can you tell if they are? Color? Shrinkage? Advice and suggestions
appreciated.

I suppose when the peppers have turned to their ripe color, which is
usually red, then the seeds should be ready to harvest. And the peppers
ought to be better tasting unless you like green ones or yellow ones etc.

Do all peppers turn red when mature? I noticed one of the yellow banana
peppers is turning red. I better start marking them soon so they don't get
mixed up.
