The other day I went out and discovered that my jalepeno plants had
produced several peppers apparently overnight. They're about 2" long,
but appear to have stopped getting longer. Does this mean then can be
picked? How long should I leave them there before I can eat them?

Peppers can be picked at anytime, but will be at their peak flavor when
small cracks appear on the skin.
