Lemon Drop

My fav new chili this year is the Chupetinho

Good heat, but not super hot, GREAT flavor. Floral and citrus.

This time of year I find that the early fruiters such as the lemon drop have a lot of fruit but look a little ratty. Leaf drop, yellowing etc. Am I not paying enough attention or is this normal after fruiting and towards the end of its growing season?

I also tend to stop feeding this time of year. Good or bad?

Broke a bone in my foot last week and have limited mobility. Watering with my gallon jugs was a sight to see! Am I better off leaving the fruit on the plants longer or harvesting and putting in the fridge or on countertop until I can deal with it?

My poor foot.

Your harvest looks great! We have had the mildest summer, for MD, DC, VA, and PA. My plants I don't neglect as I am sure you don't either and my plants are yellowing and leaves are slowly dropping no matter what I give them, this is usually normal around October and November but mine started to yellow in August like it was October. Usually I get two harvest flushes and this season only one. You could leave the peppers on the plant to ripen until you are ready to use them. Sorry about your foot looks like it hurts Ouch! hope it heals quickly.

With my limited mobility I decided to just do a mash. Everything in the pool except the lemon drop - they are bitter and I won't do again. Hoping for the best.
