With regards to ripeness much depends on what varieties you are growing. some mature green, other yellow and others red. What variety are you growing? Lynne Sara – Glad you like the site.

I'm very protective of my plants and was mortified to find the dreaded Red Sider Mite had infested most of them, but with persistant water spraying to create a humid condition, which apparently slows the breeding process (and trimming off infected leaves) I have so far (fingers and toes crossed!) kept them at bay. I have now 31 chillies on 7 plants and am nearing my first harvest. I do have a question however, I only have one perfectly red chilli among all the rest green....will they all turn red eventually or should I go ahead and harvest them green?

Aphid damage can cause your plants growth to be stunted. I'd maybe get some more seeds in quick as a back up! Athena – I’d try both if i were you.

They are SLOWLY getting their 2nd leaves and some still bare their seed shells. (planted May 26ish). I'd like to save these as a good friend gave them to me.

I may give it a go however as I have heard of others having success with it.

Aphids love them, so if you plant a bed of nasturtium flowers away from the plants you want to protect, they are supposed to go to the nasturtiums instead.
