This is my first year growing peppers and I'm not sure when to pick them. I know google says if it ripens to red it becomes spicy which I'm wanting a sweeter flavor. Im just not sure if it's still too small.

  1. Most peppers are both sweeter and hotter when picked red.

    I have some guajilo peppers at a similar size to your Anaheim. I’m personally waiting until they’re red.

    Is that the only one? I’d let it get red. Mine are loaded, so I been pickin a few green.

  3. We usually wait til they are red, or at least starting to turn red
