Happy plants, beautiful big fruit!!! I can just tell how they are enjoying the perfect temperatures - a little warmer than we ever get.

Marsha just curious, why do you grow your peppers in pots not Earthboxes? I only use 1 EB for peppers, as I just only grow 1 variety. But otherwise I wouldn't get as good a harvest. Same goes for eggplants. They yield an amazing amount in them, I have never grown them well in ground or in pots. What's your secret?

It can go from 70 F to -10 in less than two days and everything in between.
You never know from one year to the next.
If I were to try anything with protection involved it would be avocado.

Not a special reason, I just save the Earthboxes for tomatoes, and I grow a lot of peppers. I find that if I feed the peppers with every watering, I get great production. I still use a nematode barrier under them.peebee wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 12:52 am Marsha just curious, why do you grow your peppers in pots not Earthboxes?

Oh wow. -10!!! Quite often 70F is lower than even our overnight low. So you get quite cold.(I love avocado)worth1 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 5:41 amIt can go from 70 F to -10 in less than two days and everything in between.

I meant 10 degrees not minus 10. 
But even then that is way too cold.
Mostly it will drop into the 20's and sometimes in the teens.
Other years it doesn't get below freezing.
The other problem is a late freeze that comes after the sap starts to rise and it will bust the smaller trunks and kill them back.
Happened to me last year with my pomegranate trees.

I'm having a serious case of tomato and pepper envy going on here. 
They're all gorgeous!
Two questions. Are those Fish pepper leaves naturally variegated? Pretty plant!
And are those seven gallon buckets you have there or tens? Fortunately the beds I'm rotating the peppers in don't have nematodes yet but it's probably just a matter of time. Since I'm retired from a production nursery, I have access to whatever buckets I need so the question is mainly for future reference.

Thank you! The peppers are in 3 and 7 gallon. Fish is a variegated open pollinated pepper with some but not extreme heat.GoDawgs wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:57 am I'm having a serious case of tomato and pepper envy going on here.

[mention]Ginger2778[/mention] is the plastic under the pots on the ground enough to deter RKN? I have tried elevating the containers and they still manage to infect my pots. Any advice would be most helpful. Thanks!
