Hi,
I got a red bell pepper plant that as 3 peppers on it. One of them looks good size and can see some red coloring coming in. Can I pull it off now and would it get fully red off the plant? Or would pulling it before it colors up fully mess it up?
I also have green bell pepper too. What is a general guideline when it comes to picking the peppers off? Thx

What I mean is a guideline on what to look for as to the best time to pick them. You said to wait for the red bell to get red while on the plant. That's what I mean.
I have had jalapenos before and always picked them when they were green. I hear when you let them get more mature they turn red and the flavor is a little different.
