Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Tomatoes and jalapenos have been doing this for a long time. You might get a bigger plant with fewer peppers, maybe, but why mess with "Mother Nature"? -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |

I always get a billion green tomatoes that all ripen in the same week. Will removing some flowers hasten the ripening of the existing fruit? |

How do I speed things up? I could take one plant hostage at gunpoint, if maybe the other plant would notice. Or something. |

Turn your clock ahead 1 hour every day, pour a cup of espresso daily on the plants, and put your shorts on you head while you are naked in the garden and yell cock-a-doodle-do 7 times at 10 second intervals while turning in an anti-clockwise direction. The tomatoes should be ready when you are released. -- Billy http://angryarab.blogspot.com/ |

Maybe he'll put that in the pre-release screening. Charlie......loadin' up the truck seat and the cooler, after all. can see the headlines about that now............... person gets bit by dog while doing the *idiot* dance for tomatoes! |
