I've always (in the past...haven't lived anywhere long enough to grow my
own lately..) picked at least a chile or two whilst green/unripe simply
'cause I can't stand the temptation (hmmm...bet that "apple" in the Garden
wuz really a big fat chile...)...but I've had fairly good success in
getting chiles to ripen up just sitting in a window. Humidity and such are
always factors, but you can only try...
