Re: pepper plant issues

Does sound like over fertilized, but I would also wonder when they
were planted. In my neck of the woods, peppers tend to grow and mature
very slowly - especially those with larger fruits. I have had good
success with the "ornamental" varieties: "Black Pearl" and "Numex
Twilight".  My Jalepeno and Poblano peppers, started at the same time
are way behind in development, even though treated identically. Go
figure!

I have a friend who sent me this e-mail:
"I have 8 red pepper plants that are about 18 tall and very green and
vibrant, but no blooms. They look totally healthy and happy. What
should I do? Fertilize? Underwater? Overwater?"
What should I tell her?  I have just the opposite problemI have about
six pepper plants that look like hell and leaves are falling off every
day, but there are tiny peppers growing on them.  I dont even think
the plants are strong enough to support the peppers when and if they
get big.
