Yellow Pepper (Waiting)

I've been waiting a long time for my Yellow Bell to turn yellow. I think I have to wait one more week! Any advice?

You waited this long and could wait alittle longer but I believe it will taste great just as it is. Don't wait too long because I see your from Toledo not too far from me and I see next week they are calling for temps to really drop. I am just west of Cleveland. Enjoy your peppers!

surely you have another week, at the stage it is in it should ripen in a week, and the temps would have to drop to a dangerous low to harm it...
You could take it in, it will continue to turn colors inside :D

My yellow pepper is now ready. Next year if I grow them I'm going to make sure I have a few more plants. My green peppers produce about 5 large peppers in the growing season, while my yellow only gave me 2 to 3 max.

Its getting cold here and I don't like it. I wish I could move south for the winter.
