The rain?

Really? The rain could knock them off? We've had harder storms before with no damage. It's hard to imagine that did it.

Do you have a problem with homeless people in the area?

I've had some knock off from me bumping a plant, so I could see rain doing it. It may be just ones that the plant was planning on dropping for whatever reason...

Some of them can be really easy to knock off.. I just barely touched my first ever pepper and it fell off.. Not all of them will though. My guess is like mentioned above, perhaps the plant was preparing to drop it anyways.

Ok, well I can deal with that. I hope it will make more. There were no more casualties this morning. Today has been better on many fronts than I was expecting.
