Re: First Bunch
Depending on location and weather conditions they will be ready for harvest 4-7 months from the time the blossom opened. For me here in So Cal it's 6-7 months. Pitangadiego (Jon) recommends writing the date when the flower opened on the p-stem with permanent marker to help keep track. When they plump up and you think they are getting ready you can always remove a hand and bring them inside to ripen, or just wait for a few fingers to turn yellow then either harvest as they ripen or cut the whole bunch and hang it up.
