I am a new to gardening, one question on bell peppers do you put the same "cages" over them that you do tomatoes? I did last year and they were kind of small. This is the only question I can think of at the moment.
Kris! I ususally don't cage my bell peppers, as they don't grow all that tall for me. I do cage the Pablano and some of the other chili's that grow much taller to keep them from falling over. Other's might do it differently.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
No exactly: those things they they typically sell at big box stores are pretty useless for most tomato varieties, but they do work well for bell peppers and eggplants.
I agree with Farmerdill. I use those smaller round cages they sell for tomatoes for peppers. they are useless for tomato plants but a good size for pepper plants.
I agree those small cages work good for the peppers. I here they are being used for Pablano and Anaheim chili's. Like I said, I haven't used them on the Bells, but I'd guess they would take up less space that way. Maybe I'll give it a try next year.
Picture from a couple years ago. Peppers on the left.
