Just so you don't feel alone....it took my rocoto until the second year until it set fruit. It flowered late in the first year (it was already inside the house) and the flowers dropped. Now it is loaded with golf ball sized peppers and is quite large. I am wondering how it will do inside this winter! I am thinking I'll have to prune it back pretty substantially. Anyway....it is up there on the "yay" list for this year's garden. It took some extra time, but it payed off. The other peppers in the garden are doing well, but the red carribeans are suspiciously turning orange. Oh well I can use them all and that is what I get for not growing my own plants. Hope all is going well for others and I am still waiting for that rain you promised Northerners!
