Do peppers only fruit from seed?
I mean, mine are still growing, plantwise, but no flowers or fruit yet

I know you live in a hotter part of the world, but I was wondering if maybe mine might fruit next year instead?
Except I have a feeling they grow and fruit and die, meaning even if I can winter them, they won't bear me anything in future anyway.
They're far rangier than yours. Perhaps the lack of sun. And possibly too much water.
