A quick glance round my garden and you can quickly start to spot my pepper plants standing tall. I'm growing some exciting varieties including Orange Baby and Gusto Purple Chillies.
I've also been waiting to see how my Spectrum Peppers would develop and which plants would take on which coloured fruits. I know that usually peppers start green then turn to and orange (or yellow) and finally red but the image on the packet also promised white, purple and black.
Until very recently there was nothing to tell the plants apart as they were all pretty much identical in appearance but now they've flowered and are beginning to develop fruit there's two distinct types - the usual deep green peppers and also an unfamiliar pale yellow.
My best guess at this stage is that the latter will develop to the white peppers, ripen to a purple and end up as a black. I am looking forward to being proved right/wrong!
