Hi, I am new to Dave's garden and new to vegetable gardening as well. This is my first year with a garden, and I am growing on Long island, NY (Zone 7). I have 4 Bell pepper plants that I started from seed, and transplanted into SIP buckets on Memorial day weekend. they seem to be doing well, though they are all still less than a foot tall. But when i went out to check on them a few days ago, to my surprise, two of them already have peppers growing, and the others have blooms (i think they are called) and are about to start growing.
My question then, is it too soon for the peppers to grow? If the plants are still so small, will it impact the plant growth to start producing fruits? The peppers are actually going to be resting on the ground soon because the plant is so small.
Any information anyone can give will be most appreciated!
