I agree with Bill.
I planted 8 peppers in a 5X5 bed this year. I noticed one of them had a very small pepper on it when I set it out.
Big mistake. The other 7 plants are 3 times the size and loaded with peppers while the other one had to grow a full size pepper before the plant started growing and adding blooms.
Won't do that again - I'm pinching peppers and/or blooms when I set out next year.
