| It's normal and yes they are safe. All Jalapenos will eventually turn to a shade of dark red-black to black if given enough time to ripen and mature. It is just that most folks pick them as green or light red. Dave |

| They tend to be much hotter when they are black! I'm having a horrible problem with ants on my jalapenos. I've never had this before but when I pick the peppers, I'm being eaten alive by ants. They are on the plants and when I reach down and get a pepper, I also get an ant or two or three. I've never seen anything like it - I would think the heat would make this plant undesireable for ants. Does anyone know if water and dish soap deter the little buggers? |
