Peppers & eggplants: How hot is too hot?
I just planted all of my bell peppers and eggplants into their final home in 33gl Rubermaid totes. I then tented each with large, 6mil plastic bags to form a small greenhouse around each tote. The last 2 days it's gotten to 80-85 degrees here. That's about our average summertime high. Inside the tented totes, the temp maxed out at 110degrees. Is this too hot for good pepper/eggplant development?
