And, a real garden question:
I still have some plants left in pots to transfer outdoors, and, of those, suddenly most of the sweet banana peppers lost all their leaves in a day. The other plants mostly look ok, although the bell & hot peppers look a little stressed - almost like they got root rot, but they have not. (I checked a couple of all types of the pepper plants roots.) Soil moisture looks good. They were not in direct sunlight. The Opo, cucumbers, and remaining tomatoes are all fine.
My guess is, because that spot (upstairs in house, no AC there) can get darn hot, is that it got too hot for the peppers, esp. the banana peppers, but not the other plants. Does this seem likely?
What air temperature maximum can sweet banana peppers survive well?
I moved the surviving peppers outside, and will put a thermometer upstairs to see how hot it really gets up there.
Thanks, All!
Well, I missed the peak heat of the day, but a bit later on it was 105 deg. F air temp where the sweet banana peppers had been...
