Chillies

My chillies are growing away nicely in the greenhouse. I'm wondering if I should pinch the tops to encourage then to bush, or should they be left to get on and do their own thing?
I just look at them and get a strong urge to pinch them out. Perhaps I've been growing too many sweet peas! :D
There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

I think pinching them now will stun them a bit. probably leave it for a month and do it.

I pinched out half the plants last year and just let the others grow.
Very little difference in the cropping. :)

I have never pinched out, they will grow bushy on their own accord.
