Bell Peppers

Post: # 117942Post dangrenade »

Hi

I'm new to the forum and new to homegrown.
I planted a few bell pepper plants from seedlings in march. They were growing well. Got s few peppers on them. However over the past few weeks they've taken a turn for the worst. Leaves have started dropping off and the peppers have started shrinking. Anybody got any ideas.

Regards

Danny

It sounds like you left them on the plant too long. Are they in pots?
If so then they won't grow as big as what we're used to seeing in the shops - they are considerably a lot smaller.
I'm not sure if this is also the case if they are planted in the ground.
Pick the wrinkled ones off and give it a feed with some tomato fertiliser.

*fingers crossed*
