I sneak food scraps into the wife's potting soil when she's not looking,
and these pepper plants grew, but no peppers came out of them yet (and it
has been a few months).

they take a while to get going sometimes.
but can also be like what i say above. too
much N, the plant doesn't produce as much
other than green growth.

It seems almost *all* the food scraps grow infertile plants.
I keep telling her that her bees aren't doing their job.

some plants need certain types of insects
or conditions to be fertile. some need other
plants (i.e. they are not self-fertile or do
much better when crossed with a relative).
