I've heard off the matches trick, but have never tried it.  If
you're getting big plants and few peppers maybe you're treating
your peppers too well and feeding them too much nitrogen. That
makes for lush green plants, but not many fruit or peppers in
this case. Just a possibility.  Are you and your neighbor growing
the same variety?
