Hatch chiles are only 2 months away from harvest!
• The 2022 Chile crop looks good so far.
• The transplants are just starting to bloom, we will keep our fingers crossed that the higher temperatures will let them stick.
• The first planting of seeded Chile is just starting to bud and is enjoying the heat units and will be pushing the transplants come harvest time.
• This year's growing season has been extremely dry which is good to get the Chile off to a good start.
When to pick Hatch Peppers
Hatch chilies are harvested between early-August and late-September. Some varieties could start a little earlier or go a little later... Late harvest chile peppers could ripen to the point where the color has turned from green to red.
