Hi all
New year greetings from New Zealand. My problem is the 50 or chile
plants out in the garden are not setting fruit as yet. I am growing
Annaheims, Serranos, Frensos, Jalapeno and Habeneros
The ones in containers that I bring in at night or when it gets too
windy are doing fine.
Especially the Habeneros. Some Tomatillos seeds I got from "Luke in Oz"
have grown into bushes about 4 feet high and are covered in flowers but
no friut setting as yet.
The best looking plants by far are Annaheims but no fruit setting as
yet. We have had a very windy and dry spring and early summer so far due
to El Nino. Our rainfall has been way below normal

I seem to recall a post saying that the temperature drop at night was a
critical factor in setting fruit. Our temperature at present is about
24'C(75F) dropping to about 14'C(60F) at night
Is this the problem or do I need to pollinate in some other way?
My little unknown purple ornamentals are going great guns and are
covered with purple flowers and small dark purple upright peppers.
Thanking  you in advance.
