Your experience is the same as ours. We typically germinate in early Feb,
transplant to the field in May and in late October the plants still have lots of peppers.

I think we got about 3-5 lbs per plant total this year, and there are probably 1-2 lbs left on the average plant. They produce well, but they ripen after most all of our other peppers have ripened peppers.

That is one advantage of the small Aji Amarillo -- You can get ripe peppers sooner in shorter growing seasons.
