    I'm in zone 9b south Florida. I water my pepper plants in the evening (I don't get the leaves wet) it tricks the plant into thinking it's cooler out and therefore keeps my plants producing flowers and peppers throughout the summer. I do have my plants mulched. The peppers grow slower and smaller but this method allows me to keep the plant alive until the weather cools down again.

    When you say hot, try living in tropic and your house right 3 mtrs beside aspalt road. And all have pavement, the temperature is 30°C ++ all year. Even my fig tree have burn leaves in first year. I transplant it in bigger pots and have adapt. My greens easy to bolt. It gets better when 2 guava trees grow bigger and putting shade to house. Thank you for your info on micro climate. You explaining it well. At least my chilli pepper is blossoming, when the price of chilli is 2x the usual.

    This is very helpful. I always just gave up in the summertime and definitely didn't give my soil the attention and protection it needed to not be stripped of its nutrients. It's great to know alternatives now! Thanks 🙂

    Thanks so very much for ditching intro music. Your content is fantastic. Most likely I was severely beaten in a previous life with an acoustic guitar. Nothing personal. Thanks again for content.

    Hi! I'm a new subscriber from south florida! so grateful you're here to support our growing needs in this hot hot state! Could you do a video about garden pests unique to our region? I'm currently dealing with a hungry iguana I don't know how to deal with other than shielding with chicken wire. . .

    Wow 18 deg F! I’ve mulched first water retention and weed suppression, but I didn’t realize that it would act like general shade. Very cool! I found your channel in the last couple weeks and have been enjoying catching up on the videos. I’ve definitely picked up some tips… also you got me to finally make the jump on using sweet potato greens! So thank you’
