I have 6 beautiful bell pepper plants in containers. Probably 3 feet tall. I noticed I had only one decent sized pepper growing on all these plants. They are loaded with blooms and tiny peppers. I noticed the little peppers are turning yellow and dropping off the plants rather than maturing.
We have been having rather unusual weather this year. The nights didn’t want to warm above 60 until maybe the last week in April and the last few weeks days have been above 90.
The peppers are watered every other day on drip irrigation. I feed them once a week with Texas tomato food. My tomatoes are going crazy. Unbelievable how well my tomatoes are doing.
Not sure what to think of my peppers failure to set fruit.
