Unfortunately, after a long and dark British winter, we are now down to just one pepper plant (hence the switch to singular!). But, with the summer sun now (kind of) arriving, it’s really starting to thrive and has even begun producing flowers. We may get those elusive peppers after all!
The only problem is that the flowers seem to be falling off soon after they bloom. I looked this up and apparently it’s called ‘blossom drop’, which can be caused by changes in temperature, uneven watering or too much nitrogen in the soil. I’m not sure which one is the culprit in our case though – could be a combination of all three!
