Growing non-bitter green peppers
DH is ready to submit his annual veggie seed order and wants to grow green peppers. Again. He loves the IDEA of green peppers, loves bringing them proudly into the house ("Look at this - isn't it beautiful?"), but the truth is that each one he's grown is bitter-tasting. He gets insulted when I point this out, and the poor things end up sitting like little organic sculptures on our kitchen counter until they wither away. Does anyone know a variety that we can grow that's pleasant tasting and not bitter?

Many varieties of green bell pepper can be picked green, but are still considered immature. If left to ripen, they may turn yellow, orange, red or brown. These colored peppers are much sweeter.

I never grow green peppers. I grow ever color except green means not ripe and give me such a bad stomach so I avoid them like the plague. Tell DH to grow some colors and not to pick them green no matter how much he wants to. Let them develop some flavor.

Yeah. Let them ripen to red.
