Did you know that all baby peppers start out green, then change color as they mature? In fact, when you're growing bell peppers, some stay green until they mature to yellow or red, while others may turn white, lilac or purple before maturing to red, yellow or orange. The height of a bell pepper plant should be around 18- 24 inches and 18- 24 inches apart, from this a fruit roughly 4 – 6 inches will be produced, for a pepper with a sharper taste pick when they are green, or wait and get a sweeter tasting red bell pepper or yellow bell pepper. The more acidic the soil the sharper the taste will be on the fully grown bell peppers.

Harvest Time: Usually the first peppers are ready to harvest 75 to 90 days from transplanting, but that will vary with differing growing conditions. Harvest can last into fall until frost.
