Bell peppers were a bit slow this year but I still got 5 or 6 per plant. I had several Yellow Admiral pepper plants and I would take those off the plant as soon as I saw a bit of yellow and let them finish inside.


Sounds good for your pepper plants.

I never grow hot peppers so I have no idea if they would or should be more productive than the sweet peppers.

I know one of the people from around our neighborhood was here this summer and admiring my peppers. I gave him some but he was bummed when I told him they were not hot peppers. He said they looked like hot peppers and I guess that is true as Shishuto Peppers do look like they could be hot peppers!!
