I have been growing different types of chiles in Connecticut for several years. I have experimented with different types and all seem to have done o.k. considering the short growing season. I constantly have a problem, especially with Hot Portugal, Hot Cherry & Jalapeno's and more recently, Peter Peppers. When they are green they are fine, when I wait to let them turn red....they start to rot. Any suggestions????? PS I have been lurking for a year or two and want to thank you all for the great info that is passed around these newsletters! Keep it up!!
