Bell Peppers

12 years ago

Ok, so I know that it is ridiculous that I am already planning my garden in December, but I hate winter and it really gives me something to look forward to. Last year was my first experience with vegetable gardening and I had mixed results. One of the biggest disappointments was my bell peppers. I planted California Wonders. They had plenty of sun, but I think it just got too hot for them. I really want to grow bell peppers as they are very expensive to buy organic and they are one of the 'dirty dozen' and I use them all of the time. Does anyone have any advice? Are there any heirlooms or even hybrid varieties that do better in very hot weather? Or should I plant them later so that they are ripening in the fall? I live in Memphis, and most of the summer has high 90's temps and even an occasional triple digit. I dont need any info on hot peppers. I barely even touched them and they produced steadily all season. Thank you!!
