How do you tell when a sweet green pepper is ripe ?
This year, for the first time, I put a few sweet peppers in. I've got some peppers, but how do I tell if they are ripe ? The seed package shows red and green fruit, but so far mine are all dark, dark green. How big are homegrown peppers (California Wonder). The peppers I buy in the market these days weigh a pound or more, and I figure they are as bloated as the huge strawberries are. -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |

Just pick them when they seem to stop growing if you want them green, or wait another week or three for them to turn red. I don't think you can really predict how large bell peppers will get. Bob |

Try Big Bertha if you want big peppers.
