The high here (southeast Washington) yesterday was 103, and my jalepenos
and green chiles are just loving it. Makes me wish I had room for more
variety. They are all well over 3 feet tall, and loaded with fruit.
I don't know if it helps or hinders, but I have four of each in a raised
brick planter, on the east side of the house. They get lots of morning
sun, but nothing after noon. And plenty of water every night. The roots
are covered with a generous layer of mulch bark, and they get
Miracle-Gro about once a month.
Good luck to all those who are being environmentally challenged this
year. El Nino, La Nina, Los Ninnies.....
