So the not properly labelled peppers are growing and growing. It doesn’t look as if they’re getting red, or will they?

They will definitely start ripening. Give them a few more weeks. Try to avoid harvesting green peppers. Ripe peppers taste better and sweeter.

They won’t ripen until they stop growing. If the fruit is still getting bigger leave them be unless you want an unripe one. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, jalapenos turn red when they ripen but I’d bet most jalapenos you’ve encountered have been green ones.
