Bell Pepper finally thriving — the one thing that changed everything

I nearly gave up on Bell Pepper after three months of mediocre results. Then I focused properly on thinning seedlings to give each plant adequate space and within a few weeks the difference was dramatic.

It now lives in a decorative potager with flowers and vegetables mixed and has genuinely transformed that spot. productive over a long season with successive sowing is even more impressive in person than I expected from photos. planting out and establishing after last frost was spectacular — worth every bit of patience. If you're struggling with yours, thinning seedlings to give each plant adequate space is almost certainly the issue.
