Hunh! You would think a plant that is used in so many Mexican dishes would be more tolerant to heat. Ok thanks a bunch Lefty. I'll keep some seeds and start again in the fall.

Thanks, lefty!
My tomatoes are going to start bearing fruit soon, which is awesome considering the latest tomato scare. Self-sustainability FTW!
Quick question... I noticed your pepper plants were looking tall and robust. I've always had a problem with my pepper plants being short and wussy-looking. I was thinking I overwater them or something. What's your secret to great success?

well i think living in florida helps alot, other than that i just use good garden vegetable mix soil and water moderately, not too much. ive read they like to live on the verge of dry soil. now im just watering every other day or very lightly each day so the soil dries out a bit.
my cayennes are starting to get yellow leaves, i need to find a good organic fertilizer for them.
and yea, weve been getting some tomatoes here and there, when the other three bushes get bigger we should have a daily supply.

That's gotta be where I'm screwing up! I water my peppers just as much as my tomatoes. I'll try shunning them with my hose for a few days until they start looking thirsty and see how that does em.
As for your yellow leaves it sounds like either nitrogen or magnesium deficiency. I know I'm constantly plugging this stuff in this forum but you've gotta try putting some epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) on those bad boys and watch your leaves turn a deep, healthy green in no time at all.
I use this site to diagnose my mineral deficiency problems: http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/min-def/list.htm
Enjoy your tomatoes, mang.

Lefty,
I use Alaska fish emolution $11.00 a gallon from walmart, it is organic, it takes a few days to break down & feed the plants but it holds them up good.
As far as cayennes go, it is a good thing to starve them a lil on nitrogen till the leaves yellow & then feed them & as well, let them dry out & then water them, this recreates their natural growing conditions & makes them hotter.

i gotta catch up with you guys, but im here now in Hawaii.
Maui on the east side up country(where things grow that wont grow anywhere else in the world)
ill get some pics up of the garden as it takes more shape.
you wouldnt believe the soil here! its all just decomposed foliage so its so rich and airy. the only draw back is that its about 50/50 soil:rock  and some BIGGUNS at that.
heres a few pics of my little green house i cleaned and organized today.
gonna use the little pots for all kinds of starts(OPIONIONS ON WHICH ONES PLEASE) and the BIG pots are gonna be for my cacti.(pedros and torchs)
   
BTW, i need to start a bunch of loph seeds. that green house is too hot for this right?
so can i start them on my window sill indoors? the house stays cool. and gets cold at night...

Another update! There's been a lot of rain and not a lot of heat so I'm still waiting for these guys to bolt.
Doggy!
