Well, I have two Hot Portugal cayenne variety hot pepper plants that have a combined 40 or so peppers. One plant is ahead of the other and the fruit is starting to ripen. I couldn't wait any longer and picked the ripest pepper when I got home from work today. Not fully ripe but very close and my patience had run out.
So, this plant was grown from seed...started in February, put outside on May 1st and first ripe fruit on August 1. 90 days until harvest when the package said 85...pretty close.
Can't wait to eat it and will be harvesting more in the days and weeks to come.
THis foray into growing hot peppers has been great and I can't wait to expand my horizon's next season.
