You should see MY peppers. I could enter them into a Bonsai contest they're so small. I'm not even sure why I keep wasting water on them. This summer has been the pits for growing vegetables. The cabbage moths, aphids, oxalis and nightshade have done quite nicely, however.

I havn't had much insect trouble, but yes the nightshade is doing rather well.

Chester, where do you live? What has your climate been?
Here in Northeastern Oklahoma we had a cool spring and early summer, but now it has become blistering hot. I got my peppers in rather late (June) but they are now growing nicely and beginning to set fruit.

George, I am in Michigan. We had an early spring and it has been nice all along. It has actually been better than most years as far as growing conditions. That is why I am stumped. The only thing I can think of was I planted them a late by a week or two.

I'm actually about to start a new post about this... I live in Maine, also zone 5, and my peppers are all leaf and no fruit. Last year they were dripping with fruit. I'm not fertilizing differently (I don't think... I do know that too much nitrogen produces bushy plants but no flowers/fruit) so all I can think of is that the weather was too hot, too early for them. Hopefully others will chime in.

I'm in Michigan and I'm having the same problem with no fruit and my leaves are falling off. There is no blossoms are all right now. What is up with that?
