Barbee, I am thinking that the purple foliaged pepper 1 is going to be very similar to what I saved as Pepper 1 last year. Your pepper 8 may or may not be similar to pepper 8 last year - the fruit the seed came from were about 3-4 inches long and pendant (hung down on the plant), and went from pale yellow to lavender.
As far as when to eat - any time! All of these will end up red when absolutely ripe/ready for saving seed from, but you can eat them at any time. Beware the heat, though!
