I have lots of peppers, but they're all green - so far. My problem is that I didn't label them and don't remember which are which. So, I don't know which I can pick now and which should sit on the plant waiting to turn color. There is *no* hint of color (other than green, of course) on any of them. Green bell peppers are just unripe red, yellow, orange, etc peppers. Are you saying that they are the same plant? Why do they sell them as separate plants? Where do they sell them as separate plants? Wal*Mart. In the little individual plastic containers. Some are labeled green, some red, some yellow with pictures on the plastic info thingy. I found one thingy that didn't make it into the trash. It says, 'Yellow Bell' Pepper. The maturity is 60-70 days, but I don't remember when I planted them and have no idea which ones of the plants are this kind. (Live and learn.) I rarely buy pepper plants locally, I like more exotic varieties, so I don't know how they're pitching peppers now. If you had left the peppers you grew in the past on the plant, they would have ripened up just like the ones you're growing right now. I've never had this happen with the greens I've grown in the past. If I didn't pick them, they didn't change color, they just went bad. They were bell peppers, correct? Yep. Unless there is a variety that I am unaware of, and with the vast number of varieties available these days that's entirely possible, all green bell peppers are unripe colored bells. How did yours go bad? Possibly from sunburn. IIRC (but I'm old and memory impaired) sections turned whitish and then soft and brown. I have a total of 6 plants - 2 red, 2 yellow and 2 green. Four are producing quite well, but the other two aren't. They are both much taller than the other four. Rangy rather than bushy. Sue Penelope |
