Hildegard, I apologize for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up! Larger peppers are the result of selecting varieties with potential to produce larger fruit, removing fruit to leave less for the plant to support, and great growing conditions such as mild temperature growing conditions, moist soil, moderate fertilization. Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon! |
