I am the Pepper Daemon.
Now I fully understand that you will get more peppers off a pepper plant if you continue to pick peppers while they are green, as the plant strives to produce viable seed. The question is: let's say I don't pick any peppers off a plant until the first few peppers turn red - will the pepper continue to produce new peppers throughout the growing season, or does it literally stop producing -new- peppers (I know it will continue to ripen the peppers already on the plant) once peppers mature to red on the plant?
If pepper plants do stop producing when peppers begin to turn red, what would happen if I picked peppers that were half red, half green?
I'm trying to decide whether I should pick all my peppers green now, or wait a few more days until they begin to turn red, since there's still two and a half months left in Pepper Daemon's growing season.
The Pepper Daemon thanks you for your answers.
