If the temp is high than 95F, the blossoms won't set fruit. We have that problem every summer in W. Texas. Lot's of days in the 100's. We either replant or most of us just keep nursing them along until it cools off. |

Next time, if the same thing starts, just give each blossom a tiny shake. You have to be careful not to pull the blossom off, though. Better luck next year!?! |

Quoting: Texan Buckeye I’m sorry to hear that, it's very disappointing when you put allot of effort in helping something and it remains lifeless and refuses to respond. Gardening out here is a challenge and the soil on our land isn't good. We've been working on it for years and it's starting to look better. The weather makes it almost impossible some years, plus it's been changing the last few years. I've been thinking of some things to try this year, it's almost become a skirmish between me and the heat/drought!LOL We'll see. Thankfully, it's still fun...most of the time. |
DOGSTAR (OP) User ID: 33718699 Australia 02/05/2013 04:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bought the plants at the hardware store this year, perhaps they were hybrid plants. You know what I’m talking about. If that is the case no wonder they did not produce. God's law is about kind after kind. |

Just be careful, Monsanto is starting to get into that market. It's hard to track down, but find a reputable company for heirloom seeds in AUS. Try not to get too discouraged. The weather can't stink forever! At least...I hope not. |
