Why won't my pepper plants grow? Any suggestions?
My peppers didn't grow either. They are in a big pot on the patio. Full sun, nice black potting soil. Fertilized and babied. I don't think they have grown at all in height since I bought the little things from a greenhouse!mrbstephens said:Why won't my pepper plants grow? Any suggestions?
I have epsom salt! I'm gonna try this today! Thank you!Javamama said:Last year I gave my pepper plants a foliar spray of epsom salt water and had the best pepper crop ever. I can't remember the amounts, but I'll see if I can find it soon.
Peppers can be finicky about everything.
My spring crops have been awful enough to make me forget about them. Never again - it's a waste of my time. Our weather just doesn't cooperate. Most summer gardens here got put in late due to the crazy wet spring - storms about every other day for a month. It was too wet to direct seed anything and the weeds took over because I couldn't get out enough to pull them.
We finally bought a tiller and plowed all the spring stuff and weeds under and started over.
edit:
Found it - 1 tablespoon epsom salts dissolved in a gallon of water. I need to do this today.
I'll post some pics later today or the peppers and squash.Farmfresh said:Perhaps we need to post some vegetable FAILURE pictures here as well as the commentary.
The newbies out there need to see that every garden is not always perfect.
Goodness know mine reeks this year in lots of ways!
