We have a few types of hot peppers growing but have no idea how to tell when to pick them. Banana peppers are one of them. I am very allergic to most all peppers so I never grew them before.

Can you tell me what variety of peppers? Each is different as to when to pick.

Banana peppers should be 3 to 4 inches long and yellowish in color.

Okay, that helps. The Jalapeno will be ready when it's about the size of a big fat mans thumb. Or, you can let it stay on the vine until it turns red all over. Yes, the ones in the store are green, but a very mature jalapeno will turn red and has a different taste from the green ones.
The anaheim will get 6 to 8 inches long and are great for stuffing, rellenos, a pretty versatile pepper.
I will research the cayenne and the habanero.

Cayenne is ready once it turns red and habanero is ready when it turns what ever color you planted, most are orange, but some are yellow.

Thankies! His banana peppers should be ready, one is even turning reddish, it has a streak on it now. They are all at least 4 inches long. The rest have a ways to go.
We have had a heatwave that has caused them to really prosper! The boyfriend is really excited watching them grow. We planted them in very large pots so that if we get an early frost, they can be moved in to a small greenhouse to keep them growing. We tend to have a very short growing season here. He had never grown anything before he got with me, but he is learning by experience and getting better at it every year. The first year he wasn't real interested, but the next few springs he really began to get in to the whole thing. He has learned how good heirloom and organic veggie's are!

Tonight I am making Southern Fried Chicken, just like Granny used to make. (The chicken was organic, free range and willingly gave its life that I may eat it) Or not. Do you raise your own birds for butchering? |
