Bell Peppers

Green peppers are just unripe. Let them turn red for double the vitamin C.

Bell peppers take 70-80 days to mature, but once established, a single plant yields 6-8 vibrant fruits per season, ripening from green to red, yellow, or orange. They thrive in containers and require minimal maintenance, making them a forgiving choice for beginners. Letting peppers ripen fully on the plant unlocks maximum flavor — a tip many new gardeners miss. Each plant costs roughly $5 and can produce over 2 pounds of fruit, offering a 400% return on investment compared to store prices.
