Harvesting chilli's
Evening all
Had my first go at growing chilli's this year. Whats the best indication that they are 'ripe' and ready for picking?. The varieties I have are 'Jalapeno', Bird Eye' and 'Hot Pixie' Will they go red when ripe? Unfortunatly the cat dug out all the name tags after I sowed them, so now I have no idea which are which!

im not so experienced but i believe that you should pick them green, they will redden but it takes time and they are no better when red. (aprt from looks) rgds 4 |

I usually leave mine on till they're ready to fall off. -- Kay |
