Green peppers

[Hears The Water]

Hi, silly question but hubby and I are confused. Are green peppers just immature peppers of another color like red, yellow or orange? I am looking at the new Baker's Creek catalog and they list yellow, orange, red, and then also a green pepper. I thought that they are the same as the colored ones just not turned yet. Someone please enlighten me.
God bless you and yours

You got it right. They start out green and turn colors at maturity. There are a few that are brownish or pale cream before turning colors, but most are green.

I guess it depends on the type of pepper you have, but all the ones that I have ever planted, have turned red at maturity...but believe me...not too many got a chance to turn another color. We love green peppers at our house.

You Are Right. I Will Have To Remember To Ask Them At Baker Creek When I Go There In The Spring, Why They List A Red Pepper. I Can Understand The Yellow And Purple, But All The Others Turn Red Sooner Or Later.

in addition to yellow and purple, I've seen white, orange, brown and lilac. since i live in a tiny world here, i bet there are others as well. What a funky salad all those would make
