In over 10 years I have never succeeded getting Bell Peppers (
California Wonder) usually end with one or none per plant.
Soil is excellent , fertilize twice a year with high middle number,water
every second day. No flowers on it yet, they seem to come in September.
All other types of peppers grow well.. Zone 5 Toronto. Canada
Any Ideas??
Your soil may be too rich in nitrogen, which will result in lush
vegetative growth but abortive flowering and poor fruit yields. You
might consider growing a crop of sweet corn or other non-leguminous
vegetables with high nitrogen demand next year to deplete the soil a
bit, then resume your attempts to grow peppers the year after next, but
only treating the soil with a little compost and bone meal. Also, plant
a few different varieties.
