Finally picked the first fruits of the season, 62 days after planting the seedling.  Plucked five smallish jalapenos this evening.  I had been waiting for them to get a bit larger, 2″ long or so, but they did not seem to be gaining much ground.  And they were showing signs of “corking”–brownish “woody” spots and streaks–which I have read indicate they are ready.  Plus I was tired of waiting to get something off my “food plants” (as my 4 yr old calls them)!  Maybe removing these will give the ones left on the plant a boost.

Stats: 5 jalapenos, 88g
