I have a red pepper plant ("Red Beauty", I think) that has survived quite a bit, including being yanked out of an EB by an overenthusiastic canine and replanted in a regular raised bed. Amazingly, it has actually set a fair number of peppers after all this! Now, unfortunately, we're getting cool enough temperatures that those small immature little peppers aren't growing any more, much less having any hope of turning red. Are they okay to pick and eat? They're maybe about half the size the mature ones got, if that.
