Not sure why the color differences, We have since learned that bell peppers don't like being next to tomatoes so next year will be a new layout.
What is the reason why bell peppers don't do well besides tomatoes?
I think they can grow next each other but the tomato outgrows the pepper and will shade it too much.
Took a few pictures from inside the GH and few outside grow areas. No new pics our pots gardening area this time. you can see the cukes are growing into the nearest tomato plants. The tomato plants have really shaded the peppers. So we'll be changing the planting areas around next year. We're still learning what does or doesn't work.

Next pics will show after we trimmed back the tomatoes giving more sun to peppers.
