Bell Peppers

[Guest guest]

I'm growing some bell peppers in my garden this year, and am unsure

when they are ready to be picked. Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

You can stuff them. I use tofu instead of meat and slow cook them in

the crock pot.

Also, you can use them in salads, side dishes or even a great veggie

stir fry.

Congratulations! bell peppers are hard to grow. If they are meant to

turn a certain color (yellow, red, orange, black) it is very easy,

they will start green, and then turn their color, so wait until they

do get to be their color (all or ost green is gone), and normally they

are ready to pick. If they are meant to be green, wait until they do

not get any bigger, give it a day or two and pick. If you pick them a

bit too tender, they are delicious sliced in salads anyway.

I pick mine when they are dark green. If you leave them on longer, you will

get the yellow and the reds.

Thanks!

though it doesn't really matter now, since my dog just ate almost the

whole plant... (sob)

I have never had any problem growing bell peppers. You just have to be sure

that they get enough room, or the plants will not mature, bloom or bare fruit.

They also are a magnet for sphids, if you have them. I use them to keep the

aphids out of the rest of my garden and then just wash them down with dish soap

and water once every two weeks or so to keep them healthy, too.

Even in Alaska they grow.
