The green pepper is a fall crop in Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Green peppers sell the cheapest among the other fall crops, at only 40G per piece. Its quick regrowth time makes up for its cheap price, since you can easily ship a lot of them in one season.
Crop Information
Season: Fall
Where to buy Seeds: Won’s Shop at the Inn
Days to Grow: 7 days

Profit Using 3×3 and Fat-C Method
For renewable crops, we will calculate the profit per bag per day with the formula (Maximum Profit per Season/30 days), assuming you started planting on the first day of the season.
| 3×3 Square | Fat-C Method | |
| Seed Bag Cost | 150G | 150G |
| Price per Crop | 40G | 40G |
| Total Revenue per Bag | 360G | 320G |
| Profit per Bag per Day | 91G | 80G |
| Maximum Harvests per Season | 8 times | 8 times |
| Maximum Profit per Season | 2730G | 2410G |
The Fat-C Method
This planting method involves tilling a 3×3 square of soil and leaving one square on the edge untilled, planting just 8 crops instead of 9. This is the most efficient method of planting crops during the early stages of the game since the center crop is inaccessible without an upgraded watering can.
