The corn problem is because of incomplete pollination.

carolinarubi06,

Some will probably tell you it is due to over fertilization but in my opinion it has to do with the heat. I will assume they are still flowering just not setting fruit? I would though be stingy with the fertilizer just so the plants don't get too huge. I fertilize my peppers weekly until they hit 18 inches high then no more fert for the season. My ground is very rich though so that might not work for others. As it is my pepper plants are chest high. How much direct sun do the plants get a day?

Corn is definitely incomplete pollination.

I also think your problem with the peppers not fruiting is a result of the heat wave we have experienced. I have many times over summered peppers and had them start producing again as temps cooled.

carolinarubi06,

Your corn garden is too small, corn is pollinated by the wind from the tassels at the top of the corn stalk. If your garden of corn is small the wind just blows the pollen to the sides where there's no corn growing. Plant a larger garden of corn and your corn ears will be full.

I agree with captturbo that it is now too hot for the pepper plant to set new peppers. Just wait until the hot days of the summer are over and your pepper plants will start setting peppers again. Just keep them watered, no fertilizer, through the hot summer months. When they start setting peppers again you can lightly fertilize them.
