I have a green and yellow bell pepper plant that are still producing, although the yellow ones are black and I’m not sure if they will turn yellow. Shouldn’t they have finished producing by now? We are still getting some sunny days but the days are shorter and cooler, I’m just wondering if these peppers will reach maturity now we are in Autumn?

If you have had a good/great crop I would be happy with that. They may produce but what is the quality like?

My capsicums have just been harvested, should I prune them back (can I prune them) and hope for another crop next season or pull them out and wait to plant seedlings next season.

Ive had the same plants in for 3 years and they reproduce every year. This is the best year yet.

Capsicums will produce over several weeks months. Generally you pull them out when finished.

Hi, Our capsicum plants are loaded with fruit and are flowering profusely. To increase the size of the fruit do we thin the fruit or just let them keep growing. Thank you any advice will be appreciated.

I would suggest you stake and support the plants. You probably could do both, leave all flowers on some and trim others. Good watering and fertilising will produce good size fruit.

I live in Calgary, AB and was wondering when I should start my hot pepper plants indoors ... Thanks.

Go to your climate zone and check it in the planting calendar guide. S = plant seeds undercover in trays.
