There will be one , or two or none on each one. Average one per plant.

What am I doing wrong


Try growing a different shaped sweet pepper -- like "Gypsy", or one of
the Italian frying peppers. I've never had good luck with bell
peppers or pimentos.

I think peppers get confused by the extremely long days during the
summer if you get too far from the tropics. My hot peppers always
come on strong in the early fall when the days start getting
noticeably shorter, even if the plants were big and blooming already
during the summer months. Of course, by the time they put on a big
flush of growth and blooms, there's not much time left before the
first frost.

I usually have good crops of hot peppers, but last year I had a total
crop failure because the unseasonable weather all summer long (cold
when it should have been hot, hot when it should have been cold, rain
at the wrong times.) Fixin' to start my seeds to try it again this year.
