I had a shitty crop this year as well. I got 2 small poblanos and maybe 2 banana peppers. I only have 6 plants in ground and nothing. I did have some habaneros from a potted plant.
I really struggled to grow peppers this year too. Even the cayenne plants were down (although I still got plenty because those things grow peppers like weeds) and I never could get my habaneros to do anything but flounder
I didn’t plant any new pepper plants, just let my pruned peppers go nuts in their large pots. The habanero peppers all decided to give up, but the fish and datil peppers did well. Still have flowers popping up and should have production through the beginning of November.
Planted my first bell pepper plant this year. Had 10 peppers growing but far from ripe. A lady in my neighborhood came into my garden, cut the peppers, and took them. I now have one bell pepper and an angry sign
OP: if in ground peppers do poorly, try planting in pots with fresh soil/compost – planted several in the ground and in pots and for me the ones in pots were superstars while the ones in ground performed like yours. Could be a soil nutrient or acidity issue.
Funny that a lot of people had poor peppers this year. We got like 30 serranos and still going (off of 1-2 plants) and even got a few ghost peppers ripening

Oh damn. Yea my pepper harvest wasn’t great this year either
I’ll never get over the amount of people who spend $20 to grow 50 cents worth of fruits and veggies
Doesn’t matter if it’s one or one hundred, you grew it and gave it whatever it required for the basic life it needed.
Feel proud, save it’s seeds to sow again and enjoy the fruits (?) of your labo**u**r
You grew something out of nothing. Who cares how big it is
Peppers did not do well for us this year, either.
is it by a walnut tree by chance?

Mine are struggling this year as well

My sister had the same problem with her garden. She fixed it with compost.
Man, that’s a large quarter… and plate… though it’s hard to tell without a banana…
Yep that’s gardening in a nutshell. Hope it’s tasty at least
They’re hard to grow without the right conditions. You need good nutes and like 18 hours of light.
I wonder what the total cost is to grow it after factoring in your time, material.

All peppers all died, even the hot ones. We also have three cornstarch growing. We didn’t plant corn.
Should have planted the quarter for a money tree
Gardening – the best way to spend hundreds of dollars in order to save $.79

Everyone I know had a bad harvest this year. For some reason nothing grew well this year
Three Jalapenos this year. One tomato. Texas heat has been brutal.
Good work!
