The first indicator of pepper maturity is the appearance. According to the gardener, mature fruits have a saturated color.
She advises to remember what kind of variety you planted and focus on what pepper should be. That is, if it has not reached the form indicated for the variety, wait until the vegetable ripens and gains its taste.
The author of the channel added that the ripened pepper should be solid, but not too hard. He must be a little pressed, but quickly return his form. The skin of the pepper should be smooth and without wrinkles. If the fetus is too soft or has wrinkles, this may indicate a overgrown or start of damage.
The gardener advised to collect pepper in the morning, when the air temperature had not yet risen too high, but the plants were already dried up from dew. This allows minimizing moisture losses and keeping the fruits fresh for a longer time. It is also important to avoid damage to plants during cleaning so that they continue to actively bear fruit.
