"This is so entertaining; please make this a series." Gardener reveals which plant you should plant next to your bell peppers ...

A viral tweet claims that green, red, orange, and yellow bell peppers are all the same plant at different degrees of ripeness. But it's just not true, as a farmer told INSIDER in an interview.

Each plant only yields a few peppers, and because of their size, bell peppers take a while to grow and then to ripen. In that time, the pepper is susceptible to pests and disease.

Bell peppers and hot peppers, as you likely know, come in many different colors. The post claims they're all actually the same plant, no matter what color they are.
