Black chillies

[BB48]

Hello All

I have grown some 'Joes Long' chillies for the first time this year. Some have gone partly black but feel firm and look OK apart from that. Are they still OK and how do I store them if they are?

Thanks

BB

Chillies often produce black marks before they turn red. They'll be fine.

Oh - I have picked them green. Oops!

I think you should have left them to go red BB48.
