just watching them. they grew nice and big, but didn't start to flower till i quit feeding them, think i was overdosing them and they couldn't shift hormonal gears with that much N

How long do you let your pepperd ripen. Ive taken a few off now and finding the more stretch marks the better. I just dont want to go too long

that's what i'm trying to figure out as well.. i've picked a few of mine, but i'm thinking i should let them get a bit bigger and mature a bit more.. maybe @too larry or @socaljoe have some useful tips..

I am impatiently waiting for my Serrano's and Jalepenos to show alittle red. Banana peppers are rocking yellow. Tabascos are slow to get going along with the habs. First time trying them in the earth box, healthy so far. Just using promix with compost and earthworm castings.

How do you pickle your jalapeños?

I'm really interested in lacto fermenting stuff, peppers, pickles, etc. I'll be growing some peppers next summer for that purpose...love pickled peppers.

Cool, thanks. I was mainly curious if you heat process them or do a salt brine ferment. But I'm definitely down for a recipe

It's more heat I know they go onto the stove for 10-15 mins I think in like a brown sugar/Apple cider slurry.
I forget now but will get back to you on it..
It's prob one of the most simple ways to pickle them sliced not whole

My wife does pickled pepper rings with Jalapenos. I think there is some sugar mixed with the vinegar, but not sure what ratios. She heats the liquid and pours it into the jars of peppers, puts the lids on and waits for them to seal. She may use a hot water bath.
