Red and Green Peppers on plant

Hidden under the leaves on this pepper plant in mid August are both fully ripe red peppers and the less mature green ones. In both stages, they are excellent to eat raw or cook. Seeds are saved from the fully mature red fruit. So to save your own seeds, you need to grow an early variety like our California Wonder. Even in our Northern garden, it will mature many red peppers.
