Some of mine are now an acceptable size, but no sign of ripening in
the northern climes.
Should I just wait or?...

Last time I grew them ISTR removing them and placing them in a drawer
to ripen, but I think they were beginning to turn red slightly by
that time.
I'd appreciate any comments on this?
The plants are on a S facing window ledge, so plenty of light.


in a paper bag with a banana or apple will ripen them.

Thanks for reminding me of the "ripe fruit" trick!
It's been a few years...
