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.
....
When is it time to pick a pepper?


Well, if it's a _Sandia_ pepper, you wait for a dark night, and go out
to see if it's softly glowing blue.

(Spent a little too much time in a lab wearing a dosage badge a long
time ago - that's a joke, I say a joke, son, and I neither like nor grow
peppers so I'm otherwise useless for your question) - I suppose there is
the question of whether this particular sort of pepper turns color
(probably not blue, nor glowing in the dark) when ripe.
