I started my green peppers from seed inside and transplanted them into a brand new garden which was a lawn. Most all plants in my garden were started from seed.

The soil was sandy but I amended it with garden soil and manure. I also added some lime because it is about 4 feet from the tomatoes. I have not done any soil testing. Yet.

The green pepper plants are not even twice the size of when they were transplanted on May 15th. They have produced no flowers. I fertilized them with Miracle Grow but that did not seem to help.

Everything else is growing like gangbusters. The tomatoes have tomatoes and lots of buds. The same with the beans planted on the other side of the peppers (except they have beans, not tomatoes!) Onions, cukes, herbs, peas, broccoli, etc are all progressing normally.

Any ideas? There is some slug damage on the plants nearest the grass. I can't find any other damage or spots.
