My tomato and pepper plants were doing good and then all of a sudden the blooms just started falling off. Does anyone have an answer for my problem?

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: 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.
