But I've grown enough jalapenos for the year, so I cut those back. Well the jalapenos must have been crowding the bells. Because the bell peppers have really taken off. I now have 18 peppers starting on that Keystone resistant plant. These are from blooms that won't open for a week, up to peppers about 1" across.

I think that I'll be pinching off some of them so the others have enough nutrients. But maybe not since this is the only plant in the 18 gallon tote.

Anyone else have a second harvest coming?

You can extend the harvest by wrapping a couple layers of row cover around them whenever frost is expected. Or bring the pot indoors to a sunny window.

A while back on another forum, folks were comparing notes about overwintering peppers. The consensus is that with bright light, they make interesting house plants, but won't continue to bloom unless they can have a south window, lots of warmth, and additional fluorescents. Picky plants. Anyhow, the thing to note is that most (all?) peppers are perennials and can be replanted into the garden next spring, and will start producing peppers much more quickly than a baby plant.

I'm going to pinch off some of the blooms to let the plant put some effort into the peppers themselves.
