11. Be patient
Growth of peppers may be a little slower than other crops. Be patient, as peppers typically take 70 to 90 days to mature after pollination.
12. Harvest at the right time
When the peppers reach their desired size and color, harvest them by cutting them with scissors or a sharp knife to avoid damaging the plant. Peppers continue to ripen after harvest, so don’t wait until they become overripe on the plant.
Growing peppers in your garden can be a rewarding experience, as long as you follow these tips for a bountiful and flavorful harvest. With a little care and attention, you will soon be able to enjoy fresh, delicious peppers right from your garden.
