How do I know when to pick my peppers??

Question

Its a jalapeno in a planter. It's about a foot high & the peppers are about an inch big. how do I know when to pick them?

Answer 1

Jalapenos  only get to be about 3 inches long and they get dark green.. usually when you can pinch them and they are firm  like green pepper you would buy at  the store.. not to mushy but not to hard.. that's when they are ripe
