I know how it is up north , believe me.
I have struggled to grow peppers up in PNW. Sure , I did get some but not a whole lot. So here down in NC, the weather is pepper friedly and the season is early, on top of that I pushed the season by a moth. The next : ALMA PAPRIKA: I have 3 plants ... I think they are doing fine. Hope to make my own Paprika Powder.

Looking really good. I wonder about the color, though. Mine went from green to red. I don't recall a yellow stage, but it's been a few years.

I've done Alma before. Mine went from a cream-yellow color to orange to red. I did harvest a bunch at the orange stage, though.

I am wondering whether I should top some of my plants for bushier growth. They have already branched , not sure where to cut. Some of them just seem a little tall and spindly. How do you guys do it? They were planted out about 5 weeks ago and have started flowering. Sorry I cannot post pics til I get something other than this tablet

I just leave them be. And some varieties I've grown seem to just be tall and spindly; others short and bushy; and some sort of in between. If they're flowering and setting, then they're just doing their thing!

Maybe, but it's more likely that my memory is fading. It's been 4.5 seasons since I've seen one ripen. Being able to plant so few varieties now I grow something that I haven't before. In any case, I really liked Alma. Enjoy yours!
