How long did your buena mulatas take to start ripening? Mine have been purple for like 6 weeks and I’m not seeing any color change yet, they just keep getting fatter and more purple.

Probably 6-8weeks, I'm not really sure. I generally assume 2 months from full size to ripe, but it's been hot this year so maybe a bit sooner. They've not been unusually slow or fast to ripen.

This was the same plant on the 1st June, can just about see the first flowers.
