I've got several small jalapeno plants that I started this spring. A
couple
have started to produce flowers buds.

I've grown basil for years and know that pinching off the flowers forces
the
plant to keep putting on new leaves - the object of my desire.

However, am I correct that I should NOT remove the flowers from the jap
plants if I want peppers to form?


Duh, we are not growing leaves here. You want fruit
