I have noticed that occasionally a pepper plant will produce an early pepper or two. I am no where near harvesting anything but the squash, but I will be very soon.
I don't know what kind of fertilizer you use, but phosphorus is what makes the plants bloom and fruit. Nitrogen will make them big and green. Like I told CM I used a 10/10/10.
The only fertilizer I have used is dairy cow shit and lots of it, tilled in with the soil. I am sure it's very high in nitrogen which explains my giant plants that are just beginning to fruit.
