| Does anyone know what causes blooms on pepper plants to fall off? I have a few pepper plants that MIL gave me that already had peppers on them. They startd blooming again and as soon as the blooms fade and the peppers should be coming in, the stem just withers and falls off. That happened a lot of my lemon and lime too. So far only two lemons growing and one lime, and very slow growing too.

| I don't know, when we have cooler summers here or excessively rainy, our blossoms on out veggies don't produce. If rain hits our fruit trees's blossom, we end up with a small crop. If cool or too cloudy for days on end, our zuchs don't do well. A fruit might develop on them but they shrivel and sorta mildew. This year we've experienced the hottest and driest run of temperatures and precipitation ever for the Seattle area. Tomatoes and zuchs are going gangbusters. I left to fish for a few days, upon my return I discovered zuchs big enough to eat the neighbor's dog. You're probably already doing it but when watering, water the ground and not the foliage. no sprinklers. water first thing in the morning or just before dark at night. every other day. Just reread what you wrote.... if the plants already have peppers on them, the plant may be favoring the fruit over the blossom... putting what it has to the existing peppers to develop viable seeds instead of producing new fruit. That's fairly common with flowers and veggies. Maybe experiment with one of the pepper plants, pluck off all or most of the existing fruit, see if new blossoms develop new fruit????? Just a thought. |

| Yes, I took off all the peppers. They were ready to be harvested, but only four of them. A new bunch of flowers came out but they all fell off. There are yet another set of flowers coming in so we'll see what happens. It has been not that hot here this summer and we've had our regular monsoon season rain, but not as much as last year. But last year I had hardly any harvest of barely anything (first year here last year). But yeah I heard it was crazy hot up in Seattle. My cousin lives there and she posted pics at a concert/music festival and was saying how the band was so tough to be in the sun all day. I laughed at her and asked, what was it 75 there today? She said almost 90! And that wasn't even the hottest day you guys got! Found a few more small caterpillars on my pepper plants. I think I found five so far. Wondering if they came on the plant from MILs or they were hatched here.

| Welp, the new blossoms that came in on the peppers also fell off. Grr. Also the mint came back and there are nibbles on it again! I see little poops on the leaves too.

| Hi gardners! My clematis is telling me fall is just around the corner. Since we talked about vines I thought I'd share my clematis in full bloom. It did have a little leaf wilt at the bottom but dr. google says it'll be just fine next year.

| So it's still been in the triple digits here. My pepper plant got a new slew of blooms. So far only one has turned into a pepper. It's about 1" long now. The others keep shriveling off. Thai basil still going strong. Sweet basil is now fading. Mint came back great after the freaking caterpillar attack--again!

| Is that side of the house afternoon facing? Bc we put a few plants on our balcony which is north facing, but gets a lot of the afternoon sun from the side and they are not doing well. Bf wants to switch them out for bougainvillea. We have two cat claws which are doing decent, a honeysuckle that's no longer flowering, and another which I can't remember the name but it's spiky and has purple flowers and it has never bloomed yet. Yeah still low 100s and high 90s in our forecast. Can't wait until it's sweater weather. Then we will be complaining about the cold. LOL How cold does it get in Phoenix? Colder or warmer than us? Last year we got down to the low 30s for a high around New Years but that was the coldest it got. Normally it's like in the 40-50s for highs.

| We've finally cooled off a bit after a sweltering summer. Lawn died, flowers stopped doing their thing all the figs shriveled up and dropped and we went AC at home big time. It seems as if spring has come again now, with the shorter days and cooler nights. Roses have revived and our citrus trees have put out little tangerines and oranges. Persimons ripening and the lawn is green again. This is my favorite season and in southern Europe it can be really pleasant for quite a few of months yet. Keep sending pictures and news. Gardening is my favorite pastime next to being with my yorkies. |
