I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around a six foot bell pepper plant .

If mine were half that I'd be doing handsprings.

Are you able to start your own seedlings before setting out?

Yes. But I haven't attempted bells for several years, they take too long to get red, I usually run out of season.

Well if you want to try some crossed peppers. I can send you some seed in exchange for a picture of you doing a handspring when the approach 3 foot tall

I think I may have just the pepper for you. In 2013 I crossed two hot pepper plants and this is what resulted in 2014. A 6 foot tall 4 foot wide plant that grew upside down peppers. I kept track, we picked 14 gallon of peppers off that one plant. We picked and picked and picked that plant but we found out the more we picked it the more it produced
My wife put up 26 quarts, I dehydrated a bunch and I gaveway I have no idea how many more.

I had no idea what to call it so I decided on Explosion, because of it's polific growth and pepper heat. The red ones are like twice as hot as the green ones.

Let me know if you want to give it a try.

Haha! That would require a lot of photoshopping or a hospital visit!
Sure I'd love some seeds. I can send you a SASE.
