lol jungle is right! peppers are trying to get above them , only a couple of low blossoms and peppers starting, all the rest of the blossoms are high, not as many as last year,pretty sure they need a bit more sun, was gone for 5 days and the tomatoes got out of control, the soil mix is just peat---compost---perlite---garden lime-- and 10-10-10 fert.

10 foot rain gutter, i'm going with less buckets next year, (too crowded) pretty sure 9 buckets would fit if you wanted them that close.

I have one row of pepper plants in my RGGS with 7 plants thats working good for me. Now that the plants are bigger and producing more they are catching up with my other peppers that I top water. Early on I think they were getting too wet. My problem this year is I am not getting any heat out of my reg. jalopeno or biker billy or cherry bomb or cayenne.Hopefully watering them less will bring some heat.
