Don't sweat it....
my Hungarian has already put out pods, which I pulled off while they were small.
Those of us who start our plants indoors will usually have blooming seedlings before
we put them out or plant them. However, many of those blossoms will drop naturally.
I tend to pluck the blossoms that persist, in order to keep energy focused on growth.
When I plant in the garden, I remove any buds or flowers.

Josh, you got an answer for everything. Seems like you have lived through every challenge possible when growing peppers from seed. Your setbacks have become every one elses gain I guess. Thanks for making it easier on me in my humble first attempt at this.

Do peppers continue to put out blooms all summer long? I was afraid they would bloom all at once and then that would be it for the rest of the growing season. What had me worried is that I would not get any more blooms once I finally got them outside for good.

They will bloom again. :-)

Indeed, they will bloom again!

They'll bloom whenever conditions allow....warm but not too hot, moist but not too wet....

Thanks, Esox! ;-)

Josh

Hahaha, probably never gets too hot here. Cold is the problem around here. 90 degrees is extremely hot for my area. Normal high for July is 82 and that is the hottest month up here. I can't wait to get these guys out where they belong.

That's good news.
When the temps are too high during the day (or too low at night), peppers tend to be
stingy with the pod-set.

Josh

Cool at night would be the problem around here. Our average low temp never gets out of the 50's.

Thanks for asking the question, Esox, I was wondering the same thing. Mine usually aren't blooming when I plant them out, but my DH installed a grow light this year, so things are moving at a faster pace than I am used to.

I guess I defy the odds here, since we have scorching hot, dry days, and very cool nights, typical high desert weather, but peppers do very well for me. I'm not complaining though : )
