So we only do a few plants each year, so nothing major. Enough to make some good chilli and some salsa. It's actually not that difficult to grow any pepper, I find them easier than tomatoes and carrots, at least with my set up (few pots and one raised planter). Just water, sun, and some basic pruning/cleaning. But I am also not doing anything fancy to maximize yield. I probably won't bother to grow bell peppers again though. I only tended to get like 5 ish per plant. Id rather just get them from my local farmstand and grow peppers that are less locally available and that I wish to try, but my ability to eat super spicy is seeming to wane.
