Strangely, my peppers have never been happier in Spring. They usually find it to be getting hot by now and slowing production. (They love fall here, fyi) This year, they have lots of peppers growing and lots of blooms. They are in an 18" high raised bed that drains really well. So, I don't think it is temps or rain frequency, but could well be too wet for their liking if the drainage isn't happening. If you are saying your bed is raised 6 inches and then pure clay, I'm guessing wet feet because that clay will be holding water until June if it doesn't rain again!
