Significant amount of water each day, but not too much. No problem with bugs & other pests, no spots or browning on leaves. All other plants that were planted the same day as the peppers are doing fine, even doubled their size. Just having trouble with the peppers lagging behind in growth. Do they need some other type of fertilizer, or is something else wrong? thanks for any input, Rachael aka Rae PS: in south/sandhill area of NC Candidly, I can't see jalapenos producing anything at 2" tall... Must be a midget pepper. Dave I don't have an answer Rachael but if I couldn't see a problem, I'd try some B1. If you can get the roots to grow, the rest will follow along.

No jalopenos either. cayenne, tabasco, peter pepper, hot banana, green bell. Bought the plants at the nursery, didn't have time to start my own this year. In all, from root to top, they were about 6 inches before I planted them. I planted the tomatos the same day as the peppers. Now usually, the peppers and tomatos kinda keep up with each other a while, but this year the tomatos have already tripled their size (as of yesterday!) and peppers haven't done much. I don't know, maybe I just have exceptional tomato plants this year................did get some bone meal to try - haven't had a chance to get out there to put it out yet though. Gonna try to later this morning. |

Gonna try to later this morning. Area here has had less than usual direct sun. Mostly overcast. The jalapenoes have been lagging my tomatoes as well. Yet, where you live, in drought and sunny conditions, have the same dilemma with other pepper varieties. Jalapenoes are producing here, just short in stature. Grow all mine from seed. Try jalapenoes next year for reference for your other pepper varieties. Save one for seed the following year. Dave |
