Pepper plants

Hi All

I have 4 Summer Festival pepper plants growing in pots. They are now forming fruits, each currently has 2 that are about 1" long and 1" diameter. There are lots more flowers forming - do i have to limit the number of flowers/fruits per plant?

thanks

Cucumbers

Last year i bought two cucumber plants that were 'all female' which produced a very good crop. This year i have grown my own from seed but it didn't say on the packet if they are an all female variety. Do i have to do something different this year such as removing any of the flowers?

thanks
