Hello All,

I have planted typical garden variety green bell peppers every year for the
last five years. (Bonnie Bell?) I have never had great luck with crop
production. The plants get approx 4-5 hours of direct sunlight and plenty of
filtered sun. They are grown in raised beds with plenty of organics and I
water them frequently. Other vegetable crops flourish but the peppers lag
behind and put out only a couple peppers per plant. It is either a location
problem, plant selection problem, or a nutrient problem. I have them spaced
two feet apart. I was hoping someone could provide me some guidance and/or
advice.

Note: Due to garden space, I usually plant only a handful of peppers. Maybe
3 or 4 plants. Could it be a pollination problem? Typically there a fewer
flowers and even fewer fruit sets. Who knows?

Thanks for any advice,

Brad Heidinger


PS- The irises that Jenny Walker gave me three years ago have decided this
was the year to bloom too. They look spectacular! Thanks so much. If you
ever have more in your side yard that you want to thin out, don't hesitate
to post a message. I am always on the look out for plants.
