About the only thing I do for my peppers is a regular dose of Epsom salts. I just add a couple of tbs per gallon of water in watering cans and water it in two or three times per summer depending on leaf color. The Epsom salts turn yellow leaves to bright green leaves quickly. I never use it on tomatoes.

I can't remember an insect problem at all on my pepper plants, but I have normal insect pressure on my tomatoes. I produce beautiful bell peppers until mid June when the heat arrives. They always die soon after the summer heat arrives I can't grow small fruited jalapenos in my garden. They always die in mid summer. Large fruited jalapenos grow and produce from early summer until first frost. My peppers get sun scald much easier than my tomatoes. I often think about potting some of the large plants and letting them over winter in the house, but I never have. Maybe someday I will.
