A third year observation on feeding peppers. When the feed is just right
the leaves are a glossy green, Look at the growing point or new leaves, If
the section nearest the stem is a lighter yellow green, the plant is
growing
the best it can, When that area starts to fade it's time to feed again.
With peppers it's better to underfeed than overfeed.
