I would like a crop from these plants! The bell peppers which have been in
exactly the same situation have had far more flowers and a crop of sorts.
DON'T fertilise them with high-nitrate fertilisers, and don't
worry too much if they dry out slightly. Otherwise, I have never
had trouble.
And *do* fertilize them with tomato fertilizer. Some sources say at
half the rate at which you would fertilize tomatoes. I give them a
soaking of tomato fertilizer about once a week.
I don't bother, but my propietary compost is probably equivalent :-)
Certainly, treating them like tomatoes is a good basic rule. After
all, they are pretty closely related!
