Some of them have been up since August. They took a couple of weeks to get
crunchy. The ones that were not completely ripe finished up on the line.
Some of them suffered a set back due to humidity, with the AC on in summer
all moisture was wrung out of the air, but opening windows in the fall
allowed it back in, thus slowing the process. Colder weather and the
furnace dried the air out again, with no observed harm to my hot little
friends.
I do not do the decorative thing as I am not gifted in that way, sort of
the anti-Martha-Stewart . Once they dry out, I just pull 'em off the string
as I need 'em. I also have powdered a BUNCH of them.
