Article: Peppers that are having difficulty bearing fruit in warm weather may benefit from being spritzed with a combination of 1 quart water and 1 teaspoon Epsom salts. Another idea is to place a tablespoon of Epsom salts in the ground at the base of the pepper plant and cover the material over with dirt so that it can soak in. Should gardeners end up with fruits that are black at the ends, a condition known as blossom end rot, they will need to find a way to add more calcium to their soil. The simplest way to do this is by watering affected pepper plants with any milk that expires in the fridge. Small amounts of soured milk can be mixed up with water if there wouldn't be enough to use on every plant. Aphids are a typical garden pest that can be removed temporarily by a hard spray of water. Organic gardeners may want to try these bugs with neem or pyrethrum based sprays. Repeated applications may be necessary as these garden menaces are especially hard to eradicate. Temperatures below 65 or above 95 can keep peppers from producing fruit. If it is just a minor cold spell or heat wave, they will resume production once it has passed. Keep in mind that cold temperatures are especially bad for the health of peppers. Those exposed to extremely chilly weather may not recover from the experience, so it may be advisable to bring them indoors until the temperatures have warmed back up.

What is a summary?
Use Epsom salts to encourage the plant to bear fruit. Use calcium to deal with blossom end rot. Spray the plant with water or insecticides to get rid of aphids. Protect your plants from cold or hot temperatures.
