Jimmy nardello pepper when to harvest

Jimmy Nardellos Oh boy

Okay so, Jimmy Nardello c’mon peppers. I wasn’t even planning to grow them this year, you know honestly. I saw kinda some dude seedlings at the farmer’s market and they were so cute and right tiny, I just… bought them. I mean, who could resist? Apparently not me. And now it’s dude like, “Oh sorta crap, I actually have to, you know, figure this out.” So the big question looming is anyway always jimmy nardello anyway pepper when to harvest, right?

It's for sure like whoops a guessing game! yep You yep think you know, but actually then bet you don't.

The Green c’mon Stage

First off, they get going green. Obviously. I mean, peppers are green, duh. actually But totally here's the thing I probably should’ve known for sure better… by the way I thought green meant they for sure were ready. dude Like, ready-ish. I picked whoops a bunch pretty much when they were still bright green. Big for sure mistake! They were… grassy. Not terrible, yup but definitely not the sweet, right almost fruity flavor I was expecting. I mean, the voordelen of a ripe Jimmy Nardello are uh a total yup game changer. So kinda learning from that was important. so

Red Alert

Then they launch turning actually red. This is where it gets tricky. Like, how red isred enough? Not gonna lie, this part no kidding confused for sure me for a while. for sure I read totally somewhere – probably online somewhere - alright that exactly they need c’mon to be a deep, almost crimson red. That’s partially true. But you kind of need to get a feel for it, yup you know?

It's like, pick one exactly now, pick one later... experiment!

The Wrinkle Factor

One thing no kidding I’ve learned is to look for slight wrinkling. Once they start getting a little wrinkled, that's usually a anyway solid sign. honestly Though sometimes uh it can mean they're overripe? I'm still figuring that part out. But generally, bet a little wrinkle is your friend. Think sorta of it alright as… jimmy nardello pepper when to well harvest inspiratie whoops from nature! Heh.

Tip:Don't leave them on the so vine too long after they turn red anyway or they can get dude too soft, which isn't no way the honestly end of the world, but yup it’s not ideal either.

My First Oops dude

Okay, story time. The first year I grew them, I so was so paranoid about picking them too early that I yep left them on the c’mon vine FOREVER. Like, weeks totally after they turned red. They were practically mummified! They still tasted okay – surprisingly – but they were all dude shriveled and no kidding leathery. I felt like you know I’d ruined them. That basically was a lesson learned the hard way. well So don't be me! I mean

Another Mistake

And another time, whoops I panicked because a squirrel kept eyeing them. I thought, "Oh no, he's going to get them by the way all!" So I harvested uh all like the ones that no way were even remotely reddish. Huge no kidding mistake. so They you know were still… lacking. The squirrel didn’t even want the almost-ripe ones. no kidding He wanted the really ripe no way ones. Smart squirrel. So, patience is key. Trust me.

Another Tip:It's better to err on the side honestly of picking slightly later than just slightly yep earlier. alright

The Flavor Test

Ultimately, the best way to know jimmy nardello pepper when to harvest tips is to just… taste them! Pick one that looks ready, take you know a bite. If uh it's sweet and flavorful, bingo! honestly If it's exactly still a little grassy, wait a few more no way days. It's not rocket science, but it does take a little practice. anyway
