    No don't pinch the tios out.:heehee::WINK1:

    They will sort themselves out, mine have taken about a month to turn from green to red.

    You can eat them when they are green, ripening is not always an option in the uk.

      Ripening will delay new fruits setting, so the choice is yours.

      I'd let a few ripen, but use them green from some of the plants, so as to keep the plants moving.
