Container Peppers Galore!


I think the key to this years successful container pepper harvest was cutting back the enormous amount of foliage that the plant initially had in the beginning of the season.  The plant was humongous and healthy but was not producing very many peppers.  So I took my handy scissors and trimmed back some of the stems being careful not to take off too many, and lo' and behold I have more peppers than ever!  Also, in the middle of this growing season I added another round of organic compost on the top of the container.  I am sure this helped also.  Next year I will be growing more food in containers because it works!
