Pepper Problems

robin303 · April 30, 2008

I started my tomatoes and green peppers at the same time from seed. My tomato plants are about 2’ tall and most are bearing fruit. My peppers on the other hand just seemed to stop growing at 8”. I did pull some carrots yesterday and I did noticed that the soil was still a little chilly about 10” down even though I have outside temps 80+. So am I impatient and need to wait for it to really heat up. They are all in my raised beds with everything else, or do you think I should pull them up and start over. One already has 3 flowers and it is only 8” high. They just seem really stunted for some reason.
Thanks
