I feel like this is taking forever. Not sure if I'll get any peppers in the end, but we'll see!

That's pretty normal for peppers. They take forever for the first fruit to be ready. Then a month later you are drowning in them.

Peppers also require large amounts of nutrients once they get going. Like 4x the amount of sweet corn..

I've got the high-nitrogen plant food ready and waiting! It would be awesome to be drowning in them, I eat bell peppers every day pretty much, and I'm dying to make some Hatch green chili, so I hope they all get crazy in the end.
