This is my first year growing them. Thanks for the best guess as to when to pick them. I was having a hard time deciding since several references said to wait until it broke through the husk and the husk started turning brown but other references said to pick when it just fills out the husk. I picked a few today. I'm excited to make salsa!!~TastyTravels~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17242583069509116828noreply@blogger.com
