And to add spice to the discussion...(no pun intended,....yeah, right!)
I bury my peppers and eggplant deeply, just like tomatoes. They do wonderfully.
I do NOT pinch any blossoms from peppers or eggplant - with no issues with production at all - in fact, I get the first fruit, then the plants just keep on going.
What does make a difference - I find peppers and eggplant in pots outyield garden (in the soil) grown plants often 5 to 1 or better. They appear to like well baked roots!
