Question
Hi, I have two Tabasco plants that I planted next to each other, about 18inches apart in April. I live in West Texas. There on an elevated terrace. They are now about 18 inches tall... There green and look healthy and everything... Problem is I havent seen one pepper. Nor flowers on it... Ive tried reseraching this but to no avail... Please help

Answer
Daniel -
I'm not familiar with this variety, it is possible that you don't have the right growing conditions for it. Peppers are very temperature sensitive - they won't set fruit below a certain temp and flowers will fall off over certain temps. They don't sound too big, so I doubt you have over fertilized, which can also cause a lack of fruit. The soil could be too low on phosphorus, which is needed for flowering and fruiting.
