Woohooo!.....Congrats Erik!.....
As Ty mentioned, don't let them get completely ripe on the plant and don't add to much irrigation (water) to the plant either, otherwise they will split!.....
Just cut the VC bunch when they are plump, filled-in nicely and they still have some green on them!....
Picture taken on 12/21/2016 of my VC bunch......I harvested the bunch a couple of days later, after 12/21/2016 in which they were still green and let them ripen over the counter!....
Impressive Erik!....Zone pusher!.....
