Re: I agree with Jim
Which Jim? "Spooky" or "Saint"? :-)
Letting them thirst to wilt will work for the smaller kinds (Tepin,
Tabascos, Pequin, etc) but doesn't work so well for the larger ones
like big Jim, Anaheim, Aconcagua, Poblano, etc. In my experience,
wilting large ones usually leads to blossom end rot. Have a mind to
what you're growing.
Chet's right about the egg shells (calcium) and fish emulsion
fertilizers- these help quite a bit also, but you'd better be remote
from any open window of the house :-)
