We tried banana peppers, bell peppers, anaheim peppers, jalapeno peppers.. and one or two more I'm forgetting as my girlfriend was mostly in charge of those rows.

We got some banana peppers, one bell pepper, and two anaheims. Last year the plants looked very healthy and were VERY bushy but didn't flower until september, and never fruited. This year a few plants flowered WAAAY early (so early that the gf thought about pinching back the flowers, but didn't due to last year's issues) but were the ones that gave us peppers. I think she may have also done some epsom salt treatment to attempt to encourage flowering this year?

We're confused as well as to the problems with the peppers, you're not the first to tell us that they should be doing great if the tomatoes are. This is only our 3rd year doing a garden, and the 2nd putting in actual serious work to get something out of it. Luckily the tomatoes are just ridiculous and make up for any crop failures. They produce so much fruit that we had to make custom tomato cages out of PVC pipe and iron rods pounded into the ground, because they crushed the thickest gauge metal wire cages that we were able to build last year.

Sweet corn is doing really well too. We are trying that for the first time ever this year. 40 plants, two varieties. One variety has had ripe ears to eat fresh off the stalk at dinner for the past three weekends, and the other is looking like it might be ready to go this weekend or next. There's nothing quite like going out to your garden, picking fresh veggies off of the vine, and having a dinner almost entirely from your own hard work. Add in some fish from the freezer, and nothing on the table except the plates and silverware came from a store!
