Your first question was "Are they all like that?" No they are all different sizes but there are a lot of them that are very big. Naturally I picked the largest to post on the board. When they ripen I pick them and put them in a gallon freezer bag and add to it as they ripen. I may get pint or two each day. If I could keep my Grandson Rob out of them I would probably have four gallons by now. lol. Did I prepare my soil special. NO. I am blessed with very rich sandy soil. I have put mulch around them. I did have to water them as we are very dry here in Alabama. I have followed the book and sprinkled about a quarter cup of 10-10-10 around the plant. It seems as if there is a Guardian Angle looking over my plants because almost anything I plant grows. I am no expert and do not want to take credit I do not deserve.
