I have some pepper plants that are over a year old, some almost 3 years old.  They produce peppers that almost always turn red right away, reason for this???  Also, the leaves are getting more of a pale green as time goes by, some almost yellow already.  I have tried to add a little nitrogen, but seems to have no effect as of yet, any suggestions???   Some are in pots, other in a garden pretty well all compost.  Thanks for any advice you can give me.
