Any Yellow Leaf Pepper Plants? - Page 2

Looking good!
I grew my peppers and eggplants in AZ between our concrete walkway and the house. The ground there is very poor and very alkaline, although five years of no-till mulches has made a difference. I kept growing there because many would live through winter with the added heat of house and sidewalk and house. They would give me year round peppers, more productive the older they got and my eggplants did far better the second, third and fourth years. I lost the eggplants in a solid three or four days of temps in the low twenties one winter.
The point is, with that soil, I saw lots of iron deficiency and would need to add iron and sulphur 2-3 times a year. Cold weather, especially if wet and extreme heat always made things worse.
My hibiscus plants and citrus trees were the same way.

Yeah, I don't live in the most hospitable environment but luckily, there were no side effects from the yellowing at the beginning of it's life.
