Fine looking Bell peppers lil Buba thanks so much for sharing. I am very jealous on acounta though I have raised cayenes and jalapenos aplenty, I have never had any luck with bells. EVER!! Finally after consulting several ole green thumbed local guys they seem to think I need to add Epson salt to my soil. At first I thought they were nuts aint salt what they used to poison fields in da bible?? Well after doing some goggling i found out Epson salt aint exactly salt and got magnesium that the peppers need. Funny thing is bell planted 1 ft away from cayene same dirt the cayenes get huge and 1 plant will fill several gallon bags with peppers in a season. While I lucky to get a very few tiny bells. Gonna try salting a corner this week and putting in a bell to check this out. Will let yall know.
