I've resigned myself to the fact this is going to be a terrible year for peppers. Started planting in March, and after a few freezes, restarts, etc. the biggest plant I've got is about 3 inches tall. If I'd have known how cool it would be most of the spring I'd have planted parsnips and more carrots instead.

If you want seeds to plant next year then you will need to let the pepper get ripe so wait Until it turn red if you have enough seeds to plant next year and want a pepper to Eat now then go a head and pick it now and Enjoy

If you are growing other types of peppers, be aware that many of the common hot peppers, such as jalepenos, anchos, and cayenne are the same species as bells ( Capsicum annum) and will cross readily. So if you are going to save seed, you need to isolate your bell pepper - either bag blooms or keep the bell pepper plant a good distance away from other C. annum peppers. Otherwise, you might get some surprises in your bell peppers next year. Here is a link to a list of pepper cultivars by species so you can plan your plantings for seed saving: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Capsicum_cultivarsYour ghost peppers (and most of the other super hot peppers) are different species, though, and almost never cross with C. annum. So even if your ghost pepper is right next to your bell pepper, you won't have "ghost bells." That's a good thing, too. Can you imagine what a nasty surprise a "ghost bell" would be at a salad bar or on your pizza? )

My wife tells me that starting peppers from seed is a big waste of time. I try to explain to her that the different types you can order are more interesting than what you can find at the moment when you want to plant them. As far as time and effort, not the most efficient process.

but most satisfying?smiles Right that's the point. You can grow varieties that you can't find here locally. Plus you can say it wasn't easy, but I did it! Or this year you can say "d'oh!" and know that you still did your best.

Had 1 Aji Dulce that has proven successful-- have gotten about 18 peppers off of it & still producing. It's funny though-- I try to get people at work to take one & try it but nobody's interested. Guess they don't want to take a chance on getting the real deal....

Got a fine crop of fall Tabascos and Jalepenos coming along. The Ancho and Big Jim are hanging on, but look as though they will only make a few each.
My fall red bell peppers look good, with lots of peppers ranging from tiny to about 2/3 size. Assuming we have nice October weather, it looks like I should get a nice little crop of those before frost (usually late November). I just hope they have time enough to ripen at least some of them. Green bell peppers are fine, but I really prefer them ripe and sweet.
