Bell Peppers in trouble.

My bell peppers have not produced yet, they bloomed but the blooms fell off, and they are not growing anymore. They look like the leaves are burning up and they are starting to turn yellow. The hot banna peppers and jalepenos right next to them are producting like crazy. What gives???

did you fertilize at all recently?

bell peppers are tough, and very picky. I've had a rough time with them the last 2 years

No I fertilized the whole garden when I broke it this year. They started just fine and I'm not sure what is wrong with them now.

When did you plant? I planted in early May, and I'm just now seeing the first bell peppers.

My bell peppers are not fairing well either I planted 3, 2 died quickly and I have one left that seems to of stopped growing, I was thinking it was the heat but I'm not for sure. I planted mine the first week of June. No flowers or fruit, However my banana pepper right down from it is doing great. I fertilized with 10-10-10 when I broke ground as well.
