How do you know when to pick green peppers? Whenever you want? At a certain size? These are jalapeños.

With jalapeños it’s a “pick them when they get to be the size you want” situation.
Your plant looks like it’s doing really well, awesome job!
I like to wait until there is the faintest red blush, or even just a lightening of the green that promises to become red.
For maximum vitamin C they can also be eaten fully red, and will be sweeter. Experiment ho find your own taste.
mbelcher is right, too, if you need a couple rn, go for it.
Great harvest on a beautifully healthy plant!
Thank you, maybe I'll try letting a few go red to compare. I'm usually disappointed by my pepper however this year is particularly good for them.
Thanks, although I can't take too much credit for the heatwave and sunny climate we've had since May 😅 I'm looking forward to tasting them, they look very promising and that small plant is producing a ton!
