Re: more pepper questions

Generally speaking, yellowing at the edges of leaves can indicate excessive 
watering or rainfall. Peppers are a plant which requires less moisure than 
many others to do well. (In fact, a lot of people swear by the idea that less 
water and hotter temps produce a more flavorfull fruit, and that you can even 
control the temp of the spicier varieties this way). As far as squat pepper 
plants with tons of foliage, it sounds like the crop I had the year I planted 
my peppers at the low end of my garden, and they got all the run-off from my 
miracle grow! Bushy plants with tons of foliage, but little fruit. I now 
plant them in a spot where I can strictly control the amount of fertilizer 
they receive, and hit them lightly with M.G. about once a month. (I also 
levelled my garden better!) Hope this helps, and as always, use all possible 
sources for answers. I do!
