Yes they break easily…I have mine in a raised bed and I have them staked but hadn’t tied them up and we had a storm come through and snapped a huge stem of my poblano. I grabbed my twine and tied them up, it could’ve been worse. Usually I have cages but this year I tried something different. This is my first year for bell peppers ….usually I do fryers, jalapenos and poblanos. It’s going slowly but I’m hopeful 🤞Your peppers are looking great, thanks for the video.

You can do anything. They will manage and probably really take off one the sun shows. I you think they need fertilizer, try a water soluble to help the them grow.

My cayenne and banana peppers are doing great. Our banana peppers are only giving me about three peppers every week out of the 6 plants we have. The cayenne pepper plants are producing like crazy. Mr Gary I am in Mississippi Zone 8 what are your recommendations for saving the plants during the winter?
I dont over winter my plants so I have to restart each year. Sorry. My plants cant survive outdoors. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
You recommend any fertilizer on sale...Berrytone fertilizer looked good but it has sulfur (probably for soil acidity). Would that be an issue for peppers?
If you soil is really toward the acidic side to start maybe but if it is in the mid range, no. You can always add a handful of lime to neutralize. A light sprinkle around.

Love your videos unfortunately the near 6 inches of rain the past 2 weeks has me pondering my watering schedule for all my plants. I love your consistent watering recommendations. How would you you adapt to that much rain?
Containers will need more watering, the earth beds probably can have a slow down on watering. But it also depends on how much you are getting at once for like a deep soaking. A half an inch a day, dries fast and doesnt do much.

You’re so right about watering the towers from the top and sides. Because when I just water the top it seems as though the plants are still dry.
I have the same problem. Top and bottom are moist but the middle is dry
