rackin'fratchit peppers!!

[redace1960]

this year im growing green bell peppers. again. against all odds.
question: everywhere ive looked to date advises for peppers 'culture-as tomatoes' and this clearly isnt the case in real life-at least not by my experience. i think the problem is nightime temps.....somebody please give me a source for pepper-specific culture. it can be technical or basic, but i really need something that covers the specific needs of the solanacaea type peppers. thank you in advance!

Maybe it's just me, but your post was a bit confusing. Try this though I don't know if it will help.

D'OH! you got it right-i kinda forgot to mention the specific problem (low yields) didnt i?
anyway, thanks for the link! you are a gentleman and a scholar.

those links were exactly what i needed. i've been getting low yields for years and blaming it on cold night temps; turns out ive been neglecting their need for CONSISTANT water thinking my damp, heavy soil obviated that. wrong. chrose, dude, thanks. this is the first year ive had any luck at all getting more than three fruits a plant. they're bearing so heavily the fruit is standing off the plant at an angle like an overloaded christmas tree!
consider this your virtual share of chile rellenos and thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!
