Very nice!
 
What's your secret for pods in the heat? Mine never even try once it gets hot...

Having them in these raised beds  is the main thing.  My potted plants look very sad and are half the size!  Otherwise I guess it's luck.

Good pods and plants.
It looks like a nice shaded space you have your raised beds in. That must help.

It gets sun for about 8 hrs, from 9am to 5pm.  So, you're right that at least they get a break at the end of the day for the last couple of hours of sunlight.

Hey, Tom!  It looks like you are getting the chili-growing thing
dialed in.  Great results for your second season - watch out
2017 - Tom in the house!
 
I daydream about having a grow climate like yours!  Glad to
see you taking advantage of it!

Reaper, they are very slow to mature...like me
