Re: when to pick ? Dwarf Namwa
Normally waiting for the 1st to turn is a great idea but, since it's gotten colder, I think I'd pick one (at the top) and take it inside as a test to see if it yellows and is tasty. I have a bunch hanging now that are also stalled but they're not filled out like yours seem to be which is why I'm not testing mine.

Re: when to pick ? Dwarf Namwa
If you expect frost or a freeze, harvest them before that. Otherwise, as stated, you can wait until some fingers start to turn yellow, or harvest a few fingers and see if they ripen on the counter. They look mature enough to ripen.
