I harvested several of the purple/green peppers and some of them are turning yellow in the house. None on the plant are turning yellow yet. We have had a couple of low-30s nights and some of my plants took a hit, but seem to continue. I have three lemon drop plants. One is full of peppers, one...

The bucket has a raised bottom with notched soda cans and hardware cloth separating the dirt from the water, with a one inch air gap. I water through a hole in the bucket just below the dirt line, or a filler tube. There is a wick to get the water up to the plant. That has worked well for most...
