a look at my plants

I just wanted to post some pics of my plants and get your opinions, its my first time growing hot peppers so all thoughts and recommendations are welcome. I transplanted these outside on the 25th of april so they've been out for awhile now. Im right outside of baltimore(zone 7) and its now starting to get hot here, we just got through 3 days in the mid to upper 90s and now its back around average(mid 80s).

they've been flowering for a week or two now but all the flowers are dropping off, is that normal? Besides the flowers dropping I think they are looking great, they're nice and bushy and they have a good color to them. This being my first year though Im a little anxious and ignorant, so how do they look to you guys? Is there anything I should be doing to help them make fruit and stop droping flowers?

thats weird. is it just a few of them or all ?
 
none of the flowers have turned into pods, they just fall off after a few days. At first I thought it was because they were to small to produce but theyve gotten bigger and I had 2 fall off today.

They look great so don't worry because you're doing a good job.

Flowers drop. Its normal, especially with C. Chinenses.
Just don't give them any ferts because if you do it wrong then you'll really have flower drop issues.
They will eventually start to produce.

Patience is a virtue in growing chillis
