Stay or go? one of my new pepper plants has just started producing a pepper. The plants are small I'm thinking remove it, what's your opinion?

Pluck it. I trialed this last year with Jalapeños. Plants did much better when I took the peppers off when they were still small.

I tend to lean toward the pluck it side, at least at this stage of growth.

Eager like plant. lol

I would pluck it off and show the plant to grow more before producing.

Very healthy looking pepper plants .
I plug first flower.
It is still a little cold here for pepper plants to be in ground.
I grow pepper plants in tomato cages so that they have some support.
