Hi All,

No Peter Piper jokes, unless they are funny, the yo have
dispensation.

I have a Sandia plant (Chimayo or Mew Mexico Red) that is
about 12" all and now has two, three inch peppers hanging
from it.

I am concerned that

1) I pick it too soon and miss a larger fruit

2) I do not realize the peppers are as big as they are
going to get on a 12" tall plant and the plant will
think it is "finished" with its cycle and stop producing

When is it time to pick a pepper?

Many thanks,
-T

The other Sandia plant now has a lot of new leaves
and "seems" to be recovering.
