Greetings from Sunny Florida

After 35 years in Key West we now have settled in South Ft Myers.  My super hots are producing like crazy and are sill budding. In Key West I couldn't grow my peppers in the ground as the juvenile Iguanas would eat all the buds and larger ones would tramp them down.  I ended up hanging buckets from the upstair railings about chest high from the ground.  The butterflys were almost as bad as their larva could defoliate a plant in a few days, some could get as large as your thumb and as long as your middle finger.  I made tents out of screening and wire to hang over the buckets that worked well.  I wish I had found your site years ago as I stumbled around making many mistakes.

:welcome: from the PNW!
 
Sounds like growing in the Key West sunshine
comes at a cost! Iguanas? Butterflies? Not the
usual pests in our neighborhood  :cool:
 
Hope you find South Ft. Myers a little less
challenging in that regard.
