ok so if you let a green pepper stay on the plant it will turn either yellow or red? if so then why are there seeds that say yellow peppers when all will eventually turn yellow anyway? Im just confused on why there is that seperation.

[growingyourgreens]

Yes, a green pepper left on the plant will change colors. It may turn into red (most likely), yellow or orange, depending on the seed. Im not sure why they sell "green pepper seeds". Maybe its a marketing ploy to sell more seeds, or they have found the certain pepper, that when green, tastes better(?) than others. I do not recommend eating green peppers.

If you plant sweet peppers and hot peppers together, will the sweet become a little spicy?

[growingyourgreens]

yes, I have heard that is possible. I did not have any significant problems with that last year.. but they may. I dont mind, and like spicy :)

I wanted to recomend a DVD to everyone. It's called, "DIRT-the movie" It sure shows how important it is. I wish we could all go back to a more agrarian society, but I know that that is a dream. Chech out the DVD though.

[growingyourgreens]

I agree highly. That is an EXCELLENT DVD.

@watuwaitn4 No they will not, but the seeds from thos peppers will grow spicy peppers the next year if planted .

[EZCyclone]

@watuwaitn4 No they will not, but the seeds from thos peppers will grow spicy peppers the next year if planted.

@watuwaitn4 Your sweet peppers will only be spicy if you harvest the seeds for a second generation. They stay sweet the first generation and no cross pollination until you regrow the seeds.

@tirpitz19 yes in fact my parents for some reason cooked with the green ones all the time. I hated it growing up and started to believe that all peppers tasted like that. impatient people. Im going to try and grow alot of peppers this year at diffrent times. Hopefully things will be good :)

Global Warming is a sham. If global warming was real our plants would let us know before anything. The fact that every year my garden flourishes is evidence contrary to this global warming carbon trading lies. My plants as well as the rest of the country and world for that matter would notice serious problems and much sickness and death of plants if it was happening. I am in Georgia so I know what heat is so for it to be getting less hot here every year for the last 5 yrs shows no global warming
