The dark leaves blend in well. Bell peppers like snapdragons and smal dalhia plants. Last year I planted chili peppers in a bare spot in my perenial flower bed and the chili loved it. If you have limited space and want the best of both worlds try this. I plant my peppers in my flower bed. The dark leaves blend in well. Bell peppers like snapdragons and smal dalhia plants.

Please comment - thanks, Bob U --------- Hi, Bob! When to pick a pepper... Pick your peppers when they are full sized. Your sweet bell peppers will be more flavorful if they ripen on the vine and turn yellow, red, or orange... if you are growing that variety. But, if you're growing green bell peppers or another sweet pepper variety that doesn't change color, pick them when they are full sized. 1st time gardener here – How do I know when the pepper is ripe (i.e ready to pick off the vine?).

Why??? I have other peppers planted (bell and Jalapenio) with great success. Please help. thank you bbc -------- Sounds like blossom end rot. It's very common with peppers. Usually it's from inconsistent watering or over fertilizing. Technically blossom end rot is caused by the fruit not having enough calcium to grow properly.
