Hot Peppers - When do I pick them
Brian Bowman wrote:
I have several different variety of hot peppers growing. Jalapeno,
cayenne, asian hot
My problem is I can't figure out when to pick them. Not sure when they
are ready.
Can someone recommend a simple rule. They are all various sizes. i
picked a few jalepenos. They look ok but the flavor is not right.
Thanks for any help!

For full flavour pick them when they are fully coloured with the final
colour of the cultivar. They are all green when immature, the mature colour
is often red but can be brown, purple, yellow, orange or mixed. If they
don't get diseased or fall off you can often leave them on the bush for some
time after they are ripe and so pick them as required.
