Hi all

 I answered a similar post from Nick a few days ago and should have
maybe posted to the list.

I had the same problem here in NZ last year. From the answers I received
the message was "don't panic" Most peppers will set fruit when they are
ready.
Mine dropped heaps of flowers early, then followed with a bumper crop.
Even the leftover plants I planted in odd corners all produced some
fruit, no matter how neglected and stunted. Peppers seem really
determined to produce seed.

On a personal note thanks to everyone for the kind and thoughtful 
messages received after my sad loss.
