Please help! I am growing my own garden, and I have 12 grown pepper plants. They are Bonnie brand that I purchased when they were about 6" tall. I planted them in my garden and they are now about 2' tall. They bloomed VERY well, with each plant having 10-15 blooms. The blooms get fertilized, then the petals fall off, leaving a tiny baby pepper. It is probably about 1/8" to 1/4" in size. Then, the baby peppers fall off. Today I went out in my garden and found 12 baby peppers laying on the ground. The little stems where the baby peppers attach to the plant are cleanly severed, and they are yellow. We have had a lot of rain lately, but I would be surprised if that would cause this. I am very upset about this because I was so excited to grow my own green bell peppers, and now I'm afraid that I won't get a single pepper off my plants! Can anybody tell me what could be the problem? Also, how can I fix it? Thank you in advance for your help, I really want to make my little peppers better!!!
