Growing Chilli peppers, also Hot peppers

30 Aug 09 kate (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
Last autumn I planted chilli and capsicum plants which were eaten down to a stick. I seem to have protected from what ate them, but now although they are getting new shoots, they don't seem to actually be getting any bigger. Also a couple grew flowers - but these never developed into fruit. Should I just throw them away and start again or be patient? Any advice would be great. I promise to reciprocate elsewhere on the site!
