Depends what you want to do with them.  Green seem to pickle better, but red
is sweeter and adds better coulur to many dishes.

Cheers

Hi Chile-heads,

I am currently growing the variety Early Jalapeno indoors and have a few
fruit on my plant. My question is: How can I tell if they are ready for
picking - without picking them (I dont have that many to try).

So - what is the best sign of ripeness?

Thanks
