Peppers are often among the easiest, though strangely still tricky, plants to grow at home. If you love to garden, then chances are you know the challenges and tribulations that come with trying to make your plants thrive. Over time, you may learn a few simple tricks of the trade that can help "encourage" your pepper plants to grow and thrive. One of the easiest, and often overlooked, tricks of the trade is to pinch your peppers. Here is how you can pinch peppers and help make them grow to their largest possible size.

Another way that I encourage growth is to harvest the fruit smaller.This keeps the blossoms coming and unless you're wanting to stuff your peppers the small nice is nice and tastes the same.I'm in SW Florida and the same plants have been growing since October .I move them in a shade house in late April and they're still bearing and its the end of June.Yes, our growing season is waaaay different here and took time to get used to.
