Default identifying pepper plants by leaves??

Can't speak to Cayenne and "Bell" peppers, but having just put out my
pepper starts today from the cold frame, I noticed the hot varieties
were all smaller leaved than the bell types. LOL Richard

I screwed up. I didn't label some seedlings and I'm not sure if the
are Bell Peppers or Cayenne. One of the unlabelled has grown well--
maybe too well. It is amongst the tallest, but by far has large wide
green leaves.

Do bell or cayenne tend to be large leafed for their more mature
leaves? I know the answer is going to be no--and I will have no clue
what these plants are unless I let them mature.


I wondered if this big leafy growth was because of too much nitrogen,
but two seeds only three inches away in the same dirt are much shorter
and have no such larges leaves(same variety though).
