Its my first year of growing peppers, I've potted 8 up in pots going
from 4 inches to 8 inches.
They seem to be doing ok (about 18 inches tall but they seem to be
going black (on the stems). Have I done something wrong?

It's my first year too -- so my comments based on comparison rather than
experience. Mine are a little taller, maybe 30-36", growing in a
conservatory, so get a bit of a boost. No blackness on the stems here,
and I can't help you with that.

One of them has a small white flower. Should I pick it off or let it
grow?

Let it grow if you want fruit to set :-)

Clueless as I am, I managed to bumble into this a few weeks ago. A lot
of it is overkill for the likes of us (and never mind that it is aimed
at Alberta greenhouse growers), but there is lots of good pepper info
