Just moved to NW GA, Planted a garden,Tomatoes, G-peppers,Ban-peppers,etc..Well I used Miracle Grow on everything 1 time thru the watering system every 7 days..It seemed that everything was doing so well , but then it seemed that everything slowed on growing except the tomatoes,they grew to be approx. 8 ft tall and the tomaroes got so big that they started splitting around the vine, well everything else just kinda grew at a very slow pace and never did get very big, I think the biggest bell pepper i had was about the size of a tennis ball..Maybe yall can help me..

Peppers do not like fertilizer. Plant them in sand and they will do better.

i grew up in the low country of south carolina. the best things that grow their are tomatoes, watermelon and peanuts. it's hot and dry. there's a lot of sand in the soil for good drainage as well. that's probably the same reason in GA.

Tomatoes like it hot and dry. They still need water to survive, but they want the minimum. They do well in the south. I"m jealous...because it was not a good year for my tomatoes to grow.

Sounds like you are doing OK to me. Remember the soil ph in Georgia is very acid. University of Ga. in Athens ag. dept. will give you a ph test if you send bagged soil sample.
Are you in that awful red clay ? It is always acid in ph.
