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.

If you want maximum flavor, pick when red. If you want maximum
production pick when green. The flavor of green jalapenos improves, if
you roast them, so that the skin turns black. De-skin, chop, and use.

Obama is now backing a bipartisan Senate budget plan that would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy. In addition to entitlement cuts, the so-called "Gang of Six" plan would eliminate a number of popular tax breaks and deductions, including write-offs for home mortgage interest and employer-provided health benefits. The savings would help offset the cost of then lowering the top individual and corporate tax rates from 35 percent to at least 29 percent.

You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street. That's all it would take. Just once.
