After wondering why the Habenero Pepper plants were not blooming, a little research turned up vital information on my habit of tossing the coffee grounds around. Coffee grounds are rich in Nitrogen. Pineapples love them. But Peppers and Tomatoes in the same family, do not. The additional Nitrogen inhibits blooming.
I stopped sprinkling the grounds, added a little manure mixture, plenty of water (it's been dry lately.) and the pepper plants bloomed accordingly. We've already harvested 2 fine looking peppers. I can't stand the heat, but the pepper lover in the family said they were perfectly hot and extra tasty.
