I'm debating with myself whether or not to pinch the first flower buds on my sweet pepper plants. Since the weather here has been so erratic with cold temperatures, I have delayed planting them into the ground until tomorrow, June 2nd. The peppers are a nice size, about 10-12" and very healthy and just showing their first buds. I want them to take hold and bush out some before they start producing fruit but I'm worried that if I pinch it'll take forever before they flower again thus delaying the pepper show.
The peppers are a variety of sweet non-bell types that I grew from seed.
Any advice and opinions greatly appreciated.
