they seem to be, but 85 is as high as we've gotten yet. i'm sure they would, but would probably require daily watering at those temps. i chose black buckets to keep shit from growing in the pots, if you expect it to be that hot, you might want to pick white ones, or wrap them in something white or reflective

Thanks for the info.

You've sold me, I'm going to try them out, maybe just do a few and see how they perform. I've got two yellow pear and two beefsteak plants, so maybe one each in a hempy and one each in the ground as a comparison.

I got the rest of the blueberry bushes cleaned, ferts added, tilled in, mulch and water applied. In fact, all the fruit trees but one peach {in the foreground} and one unknown bush {way in the back} are done. I did stretch the mulch kind of thin, but my in the shower time on Fridays is 12 noon, so lunch was 1130.

Looking good, Larry. I don't know what the problem is, but I've never had any luck growing peppers. I've tried many kinds over the years, and it just doesn't work out. I'm not done trying, and hopefully someday I'll crack the code.

Since I've gone to the big beds with lots of mulch, I've done alright. I used to grow peppers in rows without mulch, and they were hit or miss. I will hook up soaker hoses to mine when I take the time. They like to be moist, but not too wet. When using soakers, you have to remember to turn them off when it rains.

I had to chuckle at that last line. After May, we won't get rain until usually October. Maybe some summer thunder showers that are brief and just serve to bump the humidity.

Last year, I had my "best" pepper plants yet. They were in fabric grow bags, 15 gallon I think, planted 3 per. They weren't happy at first with the bagged soil used in the mix, but they started doing better eventually. I'll figure it out eventually...
