Anyone else having problems with peppers this year? [View all]

My Poblano plant looks nice and healthy, but the few blossoms it’s put out have disappeared without producing a fruit. Well, not all of them– I’ve seen maybe 4 tiny peppers, but those also disappear within a day or two.

Just spoke to my Mom and she’s having the same problem.
