Default Bell Pepper question

pascarj wrote:
No matter how many varieties I try, or how I grow them, I cannot get a
bell pepper bigger than a tennis ball. And I only seem to get 2 or 3
peppers per plant. I don't understand this because I can grow hot
peppers like crazy.

What is the secret to large, stuffing size bell peppers? Any help will
be thankfully accepted.

I just 'till in some composted cow manure as soon as the ground thaws in
the spring. Put the plants in when it's time and let 'em go. Always had
good luck with bells. How's your soil? My garden also gets sun most of
the day.

I'm not into fertilizing much other than the manure but old timers will
tell you (if you are) not to fertilize bells before they have flowered.
I don't know they why's and wherefores but that's what they maintain...
