My wife was gone for a few weeks and when she returned she found her precious strawberries were basically dead, but my peppers were doing awesome! I don't see the problem, but she does! She said it's a good thing we don't have kids. Oooh burn!
Remember this adage: "Happy Wife - Happy Life." Been married 33 years. I suggest you sacrifice one of your pepper plants to the marriage alter..... Hehehe
The problem is, you have raised that strawberry bed too much and they dried out. The peppers are not as high up and are also somewhat drought tolerant. If you neglected both peppers and strawberries, you may find a way out of this mess. Strawberries could be a good addition to a chilli sauce, not gonna happen now.
