This is my first attempt germinating and growing red bell peppers, and jalepinos. Some are in pots, some in the ground. They have been going for 80 days now, and no fruit yet. Some have flowered, but they have been dropping those. Do I keep waiting? Am I just wasting time and water here? According to one of the books I have the best air temperature for growing are Day, 65°F to 85°F; night, 60°F to 75°F. If your temperatures are substantially above or below those temperatures they probably will not set well. -- Susan N.

If your temperatures are substantially above or below those temperatures they probably will not set well. Most of my peppers are doing well despite temps higher than 85. However, two of them (no idea which colors those might be, but they're the same) are having the same trouble as John's. Thanks for giving me a possibility as to why. Susan N.
