Bell peppers - to thin or not to thin?

[Ladylarpsalot]

Hi folks!

I overwintered my bell peppers from last year, and it seems to have been a power move - loads of flowers, and fruits forming already! One of them does seem to have gone a bit overboard, though - I've got ten developing fruits on a single plant

Should I take some of them off? I'm all for bumper harvests, but it seems as though trying to produce too many is just likely to end up with lots of tiny fruits. I don't know how many is a reasonable maximum per plant though!

I would leave them ,sometimes the plant will let them drop , if it has to many , but i would give them support as they can get
heavy ..

That's the thing - normally they drop flowers, or did last year, but these are all developing into fruits and getting the sturdy stem that goes with it...

Support if I do keep them all is a good shout!

I always support mine now ,after i had a few bend snap. Sometimes up to thee supports....enjoy your peppers.
