seems that you would be depriving yourself of a lot of treats if you just
waited for them all to mature, and I daresay that you would lose some
because they would rot on the vine.

And of course it depends on the cultivar, some of these produce fruit
continually, some all at once, (like my fresnos) and others you may want to
eat both green and let some mature to their full red stage (like
jalapenos).  So it depends what you've planted and what you are trying to
get.  Personally I like to pick a fresh pepper from my garden when I'm
cooking so for instance I wouldn't pick all my serannos at once unles they
all came IN at once then I would ruefully have to freeze or dry some.
I can't remember if serannos do that or not.
