hi out there-

i live in Austin, TX and i just can't seem to grow jalepeno peppers
well.
i have them in a pretty sunny area (about 6-7 hours a day) and in
decent soil with mulch. they form buds, but after a few days they
usually fall off. often, the buds look like they dry up before falling
off. i have tried watering more and watering less, but no clear
solution
has emerged. i hit the peppers with seaweed every other week and
liquid organic fertilizer every couple of weeks.

for what it's worth, i can grow the heck out of herbs and tomatoes
in the same areas (not competing with peppers), so i know it's
a decent place to grow stuff.

any suggestions? thanks in advance,

marty.
