I'm gonna have more than I know what to do with, and that's even after losing a dozen or so to end rot.

Our peppers tend to not be very prolific either with one exception: the shishito pepper I grew last year was a pretty prolific producer despite not being more than two feet tall. We have 2 bell peppers in the ground this year and have only harvested 7 peppers so far. We will get a few more, but far from a bumper crop.

It’s crazy, it goes from 32c during the day some days to down to 5c over night some nights.

Iirc under 10c peppers stall and under 5c tomatoes stall. So without assistance some stuff is just right out.

A greenhouse is on my list of crap to do.
