    Just a quickie; my sweet peppers, (in the conservatory), are developing flower buds in the leader, should I pinch the centres out to make them more bushy and encourage more fruit.

    Cheers

     Hi Pete, you can and it will make them bushier, if you don’t they grow taller, just depends what you want. Sometimes taking the first bigger flower out can encourage more fruiting, same with aubergines, I have pinched out some of mine (just the bud not the stem, though I do sideshoot them until 18" or so high, indoors).
