Hello All!

    I took off this weekend for a trip, and upon coming home last night went
quickly out to water the plants.  Before I left I noticed one of my
Jalapenos looked as though it had a red tip... in the commotion to leave, I
didn't pay much attention to it.

    However, arriving home last night, I'm amazed it is all RED!  Is this
normal?  I noticed that some of the Jalapenos were turning a deep-dark
green, and the sides were splitting (or cracking..).  The reason is I
expected them to grow much larger.  Looking back at the package it reads
"Jalapeno M", which I guess is medium?  (Full size is 2 - 3 inches.)

    I think I'm leaving them on the plant too long, but why are they turning
red!??  I've never seen such a thing.  Are they still good? Bad? Better?

    (Also, this is my first year growing... so if this is normal or
something, please take this question with a grain of salt!)

    Thanks!
