Risa,
They take quite a while to ripen. I picked a couple green when I first
planted it, because I couldn't believe they weren't ripe yet. Finally I had
the patience to let one ripen, and then I was very happy I did.
One thing, I find once they ripen (change colour) a bit, they ripen really
quickly off the plant. They need to be eaten soon after picking.
Hmm - not sure if I've described this behaviour properly. Once they have
started to ripen, they finish ripening quicker off the plant than on...
regards,
James.
