Growing Bell Peppers

Growing bell peppers takes a little more time, effort and patience but they can be well worth the effort when they are allowed to mature to their red, orange or yellow color.

In the picture below is one of mine which is getting close to being ripe. It is hard to tell if it is going to be red or orange.

The high heat we have had has affected the tomatoes, I am hoping it will not hurt the peppers. My bell peppers are not as large as I had hoped but this may be due to the type of seed I planted.

UPDATE 09-19-09

My plants were dong poorly due to the high heat we had here in San Antonio. Then we received some rain and cooler temperatures. This is all the plants needed. They started growing and producing all sorts of peppers.

The pictures below show my bell peppers. They are small but that is because I planted a variety called Apple. Green peppers are not ripe but the red ones are ripe and taste sweeter. Both though can be eaten.

In the picture below is some sort of web on one of my pepper leaves. I do not know if it is harmful or not but I will keep an eye on it for a few days and see what happens.
