I don't know what's going on, but my shishito peppers only grew to about 1.5-2 inches before turning red.

I haven't taken a measuring tape to these yet. They're "Big Jim" New Mexico chiles that can in theory hit 13" in length.

They look great!

That doesn't sound terrible. It's a small variety of pepper.
