First I must ask you: Do you want LOTS of peppers this year? Or do you want early peppers? If you prefer the former, then you must pick off every flower from every pepper, and keep on doing so until June 1, or even June 15 if you a very brave. Why? Because your plants will continue to grow large and strong, and then when you let them set peppers, they will be wise enough to do so without stunting their growth -- and larger plants set more fruit. Think of it this way: Would you want teenagers giving birth? Give it a go on at least one pepper. You may be shocked in September...

Give it a go on at least one pepper. You may be shocked in September…
