I think I agree with Bill. I'm going to try his method next year. I was so excited to finally have some sweet peppers that I left the plants alone. Now I have these short plants with some big fruits, and they just sitting.

No new blossoms, no turning color, no new growth. Some could be we had all that rain for almost 5 days in a row and only two days of cloudy sunshine and now we back to days of rain.

I'm almost tempted to pick them off even though they not fully ripe yet. Just wonder how the peppers will taste.
