We planted 3 pepper plants (poblano, jalapeño, and Anaheim) in a raised garden bed. Tomatoes in the same bed are doing just fine. We feel like they are getting enough watering but any help would be appreciated!

    My experiences match @baseless_discourse@mander.xyz’s in that they may be too far gone. That said, it would be worth giving them some additional water, some shade for the hottest part of the day, and maybe some light-colored mulch around the bases. Having them so close to the house may be creating a warmer microclimate, which can be tough on young peppers. Looking at the tomato in the foreground, I suspect that there’s a case of not enough water - there’s a considerable amount of leaf curling going on.

      We will try that. We have a shade screen coming today to help but are worried it might still be too late. They are getting as much extra care as we can give without smothering them.
