Some have flowered, but they have been dropping those. What do you mean by "going"? Were they seeded 80 days ago, or transplanted? The number of days given on a seed package is usually an ripe fruit can be expected under optimal growing conditions. What is your zone, and what have the temperatures been like there? Are you fertilizing, how much and how often? How often are you watering? All these things can have an impact on how soon your plants will fruit. My garden is running about a month behind what it was this time last year, and when I was chatting with the folks at my favorite organic gardening store, they said their's were about a month behind, too. Spring was just too cool around here. The ag extension agent said he was getting a lot of reports of early blight, too. It's not shaping up to be a very good gardening year. Do I keep waiting? Am I just wasting time and water here? Patience is a virtue. Peppers can keep producing right up to the first hard frost; unless you're in an area with a very short season, there's still time.
