Re: Wilting pepper plants

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Richard, I think that there has already been the suggestion that you might
want to shade them during the hottest part of the afternoon, but I have
never seen such wilting in Northern NY.  If we were talking of greenhouse
plants I would suggest that you might be over watering them and destroying
the root hairs.  Does anyone know if the is a possibility in the garden?  I
certainly do not know.  But I do know that I watered my peppers very little
during the driest part of June and July and had no wilting.  Good luck.
