In my garden this year I planted green beans, tomatos, and a few different kinds of peppers. I also planted a corn patch. Several of my bush bean plants have died off, but I think thats from getting too much nutrients. They are planted closest to the cow pasture and there is a large mud hole just inside the pasture that the cattle have to walk thru a lot. Needless to say it has a lot of manuer in it and that is leaching into the gargen. After the beans died I planted more tomatos and they are growing great. The doubled in size in the 1st 3 days, and have doubled in size again in the week since.
My problem is with my peppers. The plants just are not growing. They got about 1/3 the size that they usualy do then they got covered in blosoms. I plucked all of the blosoms off the plants 3 times in an attempt to get the plants to grow more. 4th time I just let the peppers grow, and these are the hottest jalapeno and chili peppers I have ever grown. Several people in my area are having this problem with pepper plants not getting any size this year. Does it have something to do with the weather, or what? Any suggestions on what to try? I'm not going to see the garden again until Mon eve, but anny suggestions would be apreciated.
