http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/okgard/msg0112323311328.html


- not more than 8 hours sun

- love nitrogen - can't over feed

- no cold weather

- water in morning - if the leaves are wilted or soil is dry - ok if leaves wilt during day/sun

- mosit but not soggy soil - should feel moist but not sticky

- soil, doesn't matter which but needs to have good drainage and well amended with organic material

New Pepper Plant

5/21/10 ~ Planted Green Pepper plant

5/24/10 ~ the leaves have wilted and the plant looks like it will die soon -

5/27/10 ~ believe the pepper is getting too much sun (10 hours) so moved the plant to deck in container (closer to 6-7 hours sun)

Also not sure if soil was bed in garden but do not think that was it because the first night on the deck it looked better int he morning but once the sun hit it - it started to wilt again.

Another issue - water - it may need more in the deck container?????
