Dear list, This is my very first time growing hot peppers of any sort. I've got about 7-8 jalopenas coming along. My problem is: I don't know when to pick them! How do I know when they are ripe and mature????? (am hoping that I will not have to be cutting into and eating each and every one of them to know if mature or not... I'm NOT that big on hot things. Jalo's are about as hot and spicy as my tongue can stand) Carolyn bethesda zone 7a _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
