Dolittle: have you checked closely to see if there are little tiny ants? really minute they are and are hard to see ....I had that problem last year and had to get some powder to put around the plants :(

BerniceC:Thanks girl, I did check them for bugs and have sprayed them. The stems behind the bloom just broke off..looked like it was cut. The blooms on the pepper plants dried up. It is strange but I will keep trying to remedy the problem.

Dolittle: Sounds like something we had a few years back.We never did find out what it was but started to plant garlic in the fall so it was up in the Spring.We put our pepper and tomato plants in that area of the garlic,got rid of whatever was cuting the buds off.I did the same around my rose bush and got rid of those green worms i had.

Foxy Lady:Thanks girl, maybe I need to plant some garlic there! Anything is worth a try.

Dolittle: Did your weather change at all? Sometimes if we plant too early we lose some buds.Right now we got hit with a cold spell at nite so i'm waiting to see what happens.

Foxy Lady: Hasn't been that cold since I planted them. Sure hope they come out of it and start doing ok again.

Dolittle: Were going in the 40's tonite.Crazy weather all over i guess.

Foxy Lady: yes Ms. Fox. i read someone else's saying they talk to people all over the world and everybody's experiencing it. it's the way some people have been carelessly messing with the environment, i'm sure.
