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

I have never but normally grow Gypsy. Your variety may need different treatement.

What ever you do feed well and stake the plants as they will get heavy.

I've grown a number of different varieties but don't restrict the number of flowers. As long as you keep them fed, they'll keep going through the autumn, just like tomatoes.
