Carolyn,

Thank you for the link!!!

I think I hit on what may have been my problem. I think my soil was too rich. When I potted everything up I used straight store bought soil. It was stuff I bought at the local lawn and garden shop, not anything bagged.

Like I said, my plants grew really well. The stalks were as fat as my thumb.

I didn't know that I should have picked the fruit off though. From what I recall the BER in my peppers tended to happen late, as in about the time the fruits went from green to orange or yellow or....

I wonder if I grow them in the ground this coming year if that will be better?
