I, like others are having an exceptional pepper year. Lots of blossoms and small peppers starting. This is a once in 10 pepper year for me, but it is still very yearly for peppers here.

In a normal, less productive year, I don't get a huge yield. I treasure those first peppers. Sometimes that works against me, and I too wonder if I could get better yield by picking the first pepper or removing blossoms early. It certainly would be worth imho, to sacrifice a singe or a few early peppers to see if you can get a banner or at least a better harvest. Not much to loose, but I completely understand the pride of growing that first pepper.
