Are peppers prone to mildew?

[socalgardengal]

The reason I ask is I want to plant my pepper plants in the ground where my neighbors sprinkler hits my raised bed and wad wondering if that would affect them at all, getting watered from above? I don't have a compost pile and have been burying my kitchen scraps back there for 7 months and would love to put my bells and beans there. Thanks for any info!
