Yeah MArk those little peppers will keep growing until they are ripe, and you can pick them early at the green stage, or leve them on the plant to ripen fully to red or orange or yellow, depending on variety.
Yeah they have to get pollinated; the starts you got were old enough to have had flowers on them already and got pollinated before you got the plants.
There's a couple tricks I've heard about peppers... one is to make sure you harvest as soon as the fruit is ripe so they keep producing. Another has to do with the spacing between plants... I THINK you are supposed to have them fairly close together-touching, actually. Latewood... help... you know this I bet.
Watch for aphids, as they are a voracious pest of pepper plants.
The more sunlight they get, the hotter they become.
Compost is your friend.
Leftover dirt from your indoor grow room works nicely I have found... lol!
I have brought peppers indoors at the end of the season and they keep producing indefinitely except that the fucking APHIDS come with them, gawd...
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . 4 different kinds of hot peppers Chile, Hungarian Hot, Jalapeno and Habanero. 4 different live plants of each kind, I went out a few minutes ago and dug out a section, and moistened it down, I'll do a bit more to loosen up the topsoil tomorrow, then I'll plant them. This is my first time growing vegetables, and I was curious if anyone could give me some good information about peppers. It has the maturation times on the tags that came with them, but what else do I need to know about growing peppers? Do they flower when Rating: 5
