Me too.

I have loads of green ones still and they are ripening just at the right rate to eat :)

It is odd to have so many reds and greens sitting right next to each other.

what is the best way to store them, as I have taken some of due to the rain we have had making them split, I remeber my dad wraping them in news paper and putting them in a draw

Cooked, once they have split they will go mouldy very quickly...  :'(

Seem to have heard that storing in a brown paper bag ripens them unblemished of course.

I was going to wow you all with a seed packet  style photo and was so nearly there with Nectar, but there has been so much rain over the last few days that the ones at the top have started to split  while the ones at the bottom need two or three more days to get to full colour. :(
