Thank you so much for the update and pictures!
You are right about september not being an ideal month flavor-vise, but I guess they have to set the date for september (as most peppers won't start ripening before mid-august/september here). It's funny that you mention the cherry tomatoes, because it a saying here that the taste of the cherry tomatoes peak in september
when it starts to get cold (I'm not sure why the beefsteaks seem to do the opposite)
I'm glad you had a nice day, and maybe you learned something about growing tomatoes here too
