Up here in 5A we can grow most varieties that are 80 days to ripe (green) .... then allow another 21 days to ripen to RED. Those that don't ripen to green before 80 days it is potluck. Last year we were able to leave our plants to grow out an additional 30+ days, late October - early November ... it was a very rare year and we had nice harvests!!! Starting plants indoors early here is key!
