Temperature - it's been 90-100+ the last month or more. Shade cloth - i keep it up permanently. I'm trying this since my peppers on a covered carport with trees around shading it did VERY well. Raised bed surface - i just threw light pine straw/leaves on top..not enough to do anything, nothing...

I'm growing some peppers of various types in a raised bed. They have been doing very poorly. I thought it may be the intense South Georgia heat so I put up at 40% shade cloth. I believe it helped a little but they still are not growing properly. Should I up it to 60-70%? The soil is a mix of...

I bought many 'heirloom datils' from a user in florida on ebay. I asked my St. Augustinian relatives and by the picture, they don't think the bunch of 3 green peppers are datils. The other picture with the orange pepper are definitely Datils.   Could the green peppers be just a version of...

Here's the full history Mostly Datil peppers and a few Reapers I started these back in Janurary indoors. They did very well indoors.I topped them a few times and have them pretty sturdy and some very bushy. I've been bottom feeding them FloraGro  2-1-6 liquid fertilizer since they had leaves...

I'm looking to carry on my uncles Menorcan tradition of Datil pepper BBQ sauce so I'm growing some Datils. I thought I'd post some pictures and see what you all thought. I'm saving eggshells to give them a little calcium. These pictures are from right before I topped them...some of them already...
