They are growing in pots on my deck since all I have surrounding my house is sand. I live on the Outer Banks of NC in Kitty Hawk. My question is about when I should pick the peppers. They have flowered, set peppers, grew and turned green and have now turned purple (eggplant color). Will the color continue to change to red ? Or are they now at the stage to be picked ?obxgeorgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-10315791845713376892011-07-06T10:55:41.658-05:002011-07-06T10:55:41.658-05:00I live in Palatka and have been having great luck ...I live in Palatka and have been having great luck with my datil's this year.

I haven't seen anyone else mention it but, I found a 'sweet' datil pepper at 'County Line'market on 207. It's ripens red instead of yellow like the typical hot pepper. When seeding and de-veining the sweet peppers were definitely milder than the regular ones (the nose knows hot) but still had that unique datil smell. It should be fun experimenting with them.<br /><br />Jay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-62423591651247292282009-09-01T16:14:20.822-05:002009-09-01T16:14:20.822-05:00Hi Everyone!

I love how it is hot and sweet at the same time.<br />Anyway, I am growing my first datil pepper plant at home, and I am trying to find a recipe similar to the bottled stuff, but every recipe I come across (not many, I know people like to keep their formulas in the family!) does not seem to have the sweet factor in it. I know there are hot AND sweet datil peppers, I only have a hot plant, but in reading the label on my bottle it does include corn syrup. If anyone has a recipe similar to Dat'l do it, pretty please e-mail to me or post it. At $4.29 a bottle, this is becoming an expensive habit for a working mom!<br /><br />hppiefrk@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
