When to Harvest Peppers. Peppers should be ready to harvest in approximately 70-80 days of ideal growing conditions. Sweet peppers are picked green, not fully ripe. They will feel firm and crisp when ready, and should not be pulled from the plant but cut with a sharp knife or pruning shears.
If left on the vine to ripen further, green peppers may turn red, then orange to yellow. Purple varieties will turn from green to dark purple or nearly black. Bell peppers can be eaten at any stage during this ripening process, and they will become sweeter in taste the longer they are left on the vine. Cut peppers from the vine, leaving the stem attached to the fruit. Ripe peppers may detach easily from the plant stem with a gentle twist.
