When can I harvest?
The following is a guide for when to harvest the produce:
-
The tomatoes will need to be red and firm before harvesting
-
Peppers will vary depending on the type:
-
For those that turn red, they will become hotter as they change from green to red.
-
Banana peppers will turn yellow and firm before they are ready.

It will be 1-2 weeks before any of the peppers are ready to be harvested — come and check the garden starting the week of June 15!
