My citrus haven't had a choice about being wet this year. We have had an unbelievable amount of rainfall this spring.
I have never had a BER problem except for one or two tomatoes a year and usually because I forgot to water for too long. My soil has a high concentrations of Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphate according to the last few soil samples. I agree with what you are saying about peppers and nitrogen. I have found in the past when they were not thriving that giving them several boosts of a high nitrogen fertilizer would usually get them back to growing and producing again. I like giving them some chicken manure midway through the summer if I can find a little. I just pull my mulch back and sprinkle a light layer around the plant and replace the mulch and water it in well. A week later they look like they have had a vitamin shot. I'm hoping that that will be unnecessary with your fertilizers.
Thanks for the response. Bill
