I have done some pruning of peppers in the past and this year have been reading about pruning the eggplants. HOWEVER, I watched a video on youtube that showed this guy essentially cutting off the top of the plant (a pepper) to encourage a very strong stem for the future peppers.
Anyone that brave with peppers, or Eggplants?

I have so many peppers this year I have decided to experiment with them.

I don't prune these plants, except for taking off the top most growing tip (to the second set of leaves, just below) when the plants are about a foot tall, or a little taller. This forces lateral growth and generally yields great results. I will trim old leaves from the bottom of the plant if there airflow is becoming restricted or the leaves are failing because of age.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau
