has anyone else had a wonderful crop of peppers

Hi I don't know the reason either but my peppers have all done really well this year. Lets enjoy them while the goings good. wish I could say the same for my spring onions.

just wondered how you know when they are ready to harvest?
I have loads of chilli peppers, jalepeno and others but need to know when to harvest them

soory to sneak a question in Pamq

anytime mookins!

basically you can eat them green, stripey-- which look good in salads-- or when red (yellow or orange at the moment!) the riper the sweeter and juicier or in the case of chillis the hotter!

Hi to you tulsalady maybe its the funny weather its really warm at the moment

With regard to chillies, I leave mine on the plant for at least two weeks after they have turned red. I've found from past experience that this improves the heat.

I like to leave mine to go red, I think the green ones are bitter,How long is this weather going to last?

do all chillis go red then?

Mine are sweet peppers not chilli don't they change colour as well?

It depends on the species, some go purple/black.
This is what mine are like at present. My Scots Bonnet are pale green, Thai and Tepin are dark green, another one (Ithink its Cherry Bomb) is white with purple blotches,Bell peppers are still green, sweet chillies are dark green. They will all turn red eventually.

sounds all very nice...will leave mine a while longer then
see f theres a hint of colour change
