How big do bell pepper plants capture, do I involve to tie or pen them? this is my first time planting peppers, can I plant them...

this is my first time planting peppers, can I plant them surrounded by pots like tomatoes?
Why is my fire alarm going stale if...
Answers:    I enjoy been doing pepper for about 5 years immediately. One year I tried planting them in pots but they just produced anything. Mine have other done better directly in the garden.
In my nouns of Wisconsin during this time of year, it is very stormy. I have also staked my pepper plants surrounded by fear that the snake will break them. I think the staking also help support the plants for the weight of the pepper. The plants grow anywhere from 12 - 24".
Hope all go well near yours. Happy gardening.
