I agree . Daughter has the yellow bell , and waited for them both to ripen on the plant . Takes forever . That plant is stalled big time , and another heat advisory until Monday . New growth showing though . Should have picked them green . Has a lot of foliage on it to . Might need to strip some leaves .picking the japs and bells in the green stage to keep the plants producing.
The Fresno had about 6 peppers . Picked those and the heat rolled in . Gave it a week , and now it's loaded . They need to be picked to keep the plant going .
The 2 smaller red above are serrano . First time for me , but really like the heat level . My Son did a Calabrian sausage , red onion and serrano pizza with them . Drizzle of honey to mellow the heat a bit . Really good use of the serranos .
I picked one of the Cayenne when it was green . Took a bite . Seems pretty spicy . Right after I picked that one , the others started to turn .
