Shishito Peppers (or any Pepper I guess) From Regrowth

Normally plant seeds or lately have shared a flat with a bunch of neighbors. Normally I pull the plants out at the end of the season. I didn’t last year. Well the seeds from last year started sprouting about 6-8 weeks ago and are blowing up now. Only have a couple peppers so far but the plants look good with a decent amount of blooms. Has anyone done this before and how were results?

By "reseed" do you mean the same year old plant has peppers the second year? Or do you mean some seeds/ peppers planted themselves and grew without your help?

Peppers from last year dried out and seeds planted themselves.

I planted a tabasco pepper plant in 2020 and up to last year when I demolished the raised bed I'd have 50-60 pepper sprouts coming up every year. If I didn't pull most of them they'd take over. I'd let 2 or 3 grow.

They say not to grow hybrid volunteers. I have had success before with hybrid volunteers but they may not be the same as the parent. May not have the disease resistance etc.

Shishitos are heirloom and should grow true, nothing wrong with letting them reseed. Even hybrids sometimes will turn out similar to the parent, no reason to pull them unless you just need the room. Something a lot of folks don’t realize is you can overwinter peppers and get quite a few years with a jump start on the season.

yes you can pull the plants, prune the leggy stems and pot them for the winter. But I never do 
I had a patch that reseeded every year with those sweet snacking peppers. They always were the same as previous years.

It pays off for some of the slower growing varieties, few years back I had a Tabasco plant that was almost 6ft tall and it was producing in April. I hardly ever remember before the first good freeze zaps them, but when I’ve done it the results have been well worth it.
