Pepper newbie wants to know - where's the productivity?

austinnhanasmom · September 24, 2010

My 2010 deductions could be messed up because my peppers "survived" a horrible hail storm in May. Every other neighbor is getting a new roof...

I thought peppers loved heat, at least the ones I am growing, and planted them in afternoon sun - noon to dusk - full on with westerly winds. They grew ok but lacked successful pollination.

Now that is has cooled off at night, the peppers seem to be taking off. Odd right?

My planting space seems to be less then ideal for peppers, but unless I give up tomato space, the peppers must adapt!!
