	I had poblanos do the same thing last year, and
	I'm in northeast Kansas.  We had plenty of sun
	last year so I doubt it's a lack of light.  They did
	produce quite well...eventually.  I had ripe habs
	before my first poblano was much bigger than a
	golf ball.  Just give them a little more time and they
	should be fine.  

	Scott... blossom drop is soooo frustrating... KCK
