Blooming Pepper Plants
I planted my garden (illinois) about 3 weeks ago. One of my hot
pepper plants (don't remember the exact type) already has a bloom on it. The plant is still less than 12" tall, and it only has one bloom. should I pinch off this bloom? or let it keep growing? Or, is this plant more or less lost already? I have another of the same type, and it is just as big, but no blooms or anything... Thanks in advance... email: daveallyn at bwsys dot net please respond in this NG so others can share your wisdom as well! |

Let the plant decide. 12" isn't terrifically small for a pepper plant. The most common problem with early fruit is sun scald from an immature leaf canopy. *Then* you can clip off and chop up the good bits for salad. :-) |
