Question 1

How many bell peppers does a plant produce?

Accepted Answer

In a good season I would say one bell pepper plant will produce at least 20 peppers in about three months.

I usually plant two bell pepper plants in my vegetable garden every spring, and I end up with way more bell peppers than I need!

Question 2

What color bell pepper is the healthiest?

Accepted Answer

All bell peppers start out green, and they’re all a great source of beta-carotene and vitamin C.

But because it stays on the plant the longest, red bell peppers are the highest in these nutrients.

I grow all color varieties in my garden because they’re pretty and nutritious, but I’ll admit the orange and red varieties are my favorites!

Question 3

How long does it take bell peppers to produce fruit?

Accepted Answer

It takes a bell pepper plant from seedling to fruit anywhere from 2-3 months, depending on the color variety you’ve planted.

Green bell peppers tend to take the shortest period of time, while red stays on the plant longer to mature and change colors.

Question 4

Why do some peppers have three bumps?

Accepted Answer

Bell peppers come in male and female varieties.

The 3-bump variety is a male bell pepper, which you’ll find usually has fewer seeds inside and grows a bit quicker. The 4-bump variety is a female which has more internal seeds and is slower to grow.

They taste the same regardless of the number of bumps-absolutely delicious!
