Ok! Finally here's an update with some photos. This is a close-up of a couple of pepperoncinis still growing. The plant has about 20 peppers so far. The two shown here are between four and five inches long (nothing in the shot for scale). The fruits are clean and colorful. They have very smooth skin that shines like they're waxed.
We actually tasted one of the peppers because we didn't know if they were ready yet. The pepper was fully-formed inside with lots of seeds, but in additional to the taste you're familiar with, there was a bitterness that suggested they're not ready quite yet. I think they need to fatten up a bit first. Maybe 7 to 10 more days.
