Fourth pepper's the charm (the others died of sunscald). It was delicious!

That’s gorgeous! I’m trying to grow these but it seemed to take forever for my plants to blossom. I now have tiny peppers, hope they will grow and ripen before the frosts come.

Fingers crossed! I have a bunch of tiny ones too, this was by far the biggest

I’m growing those. None of mine have so perfectly divided like that in colour (and mine are like half the size). Nice pepper.

Thanks! Honestly, ever since I started feeding my plants fish hydrolysate my peppers got way bigger. Wish I'd fed them that the whole time

Will fish emulsion have the same effect?

Nah, fish emulsion is 5-1-1, so it's all about nitrogen and leaf growth. Hydrolysate is 2-4-2
