Bill,
Thanks for the update. I've had Thai's go from greentoredtorotten in
a matter of days using your method. If you put peppers up, almost all
the ones I've done have ripened in the jar. Did you save any seeds from
this years harvest? would love to grow 10 plants that produce all
summer & then have 20lbs. of fruit on plants at end of season!!

well, i chose the path of least effort, and spread the green/purple/orange
chiles , but expecting a ton of rotten chile mush...
it worked, my friends, it worked!...ma nature immediately set about turning
them red, i am culling the ripe ones out and freezing (most of) them, in
anticipation
of a long, cold winter...at this rate, they all should have ripened by next
weekend...
