I planted a standard bell pepper plant about 6-7 weeks ago in a large pot with good potting soil. I have fertilized it with good, organic pepper fertilizer and watered it every other day. However, no peppers have started to grow. This might not worry me, except that 10-12 flowers have come and gone; hence, I assume the flowers were not pollinated or there is some other problem. The pots are in my backyard, with lots of other flowers, plants, etc. Although I haven’t seen many insects, I assume they’re there; indeed, my nearby potted tomato plants have grown tomatos, so something pollinated them. Any thoughts>
