    I grow a bunch of weird things, but I've never grown any vegetables until this year, because I'm impatient. I've got some banana peppers, and I was wondering if tip pinching them will produce more peppers, or if it will somehow interfere with flowering. I've looked around and haven't found an answer so I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable folks. Thanks!

    I've never pinched my banana peppers. If they have all the right conditions they are prolific producers. I couldn't use any more than mine put out. I don't think you will need a lot of patience with banana peppers either--they grow pretty fast.

    Agreed, Banana peppers( either sweet or hot) are among the easiest and most prolific. No need to pinch them.
