I picked short and mid-season peppers since many of the longer season peppers did not have enough time to turn colors (ripen). Before last year 90% of the pepper crop was green; last year 70% were able to turn.

It seems the choices are numerous abroad. I agree, its hard to find these in the US. Baker Creek sells the first pepper on paulf's grow list. How was your productivity on this?
Last year was exceptionally long, and I'm half an hour straight north of paulf. 70 percent coloration would be a good year for me too. I was still out there picking what I hadn't pulled into October, even after very cold temps they all marched on. It was odd to see colored peppers in the next bed when I was planting garlic.
