i fertilize mine when I do my tomatoes and they get pretty big. I din't pinch except upon initial transplant. However, I also like to eat immature peppers in the early season due to being in patient - so I do pick and pull some.

in any event, my peppers usually end up looking like a hedge before the end of season - but that season in long - almost til turkey day. can't speak for the up north, but I have/usually yank a couple plants and transplant for next year (2nd year is the best, imo) and toss them in a bucket - they keep on trucking as long as they get some light and not frost.

can't say the same for yanking up a mater plant, but don't see all the fuss here. just make a cheap plastic tunnel and if need a light heat source to streeetch her out another month.
