I don't know if it would be fair to give up on any variety based upon
a single year's results. I can tell you I've had very disappinting
result with peppers this year, and had good results previously. I
tended a pepper plant for a month from a friend who lives in a more
northern woody area. Much less sun than I have and their container
plant is doing better than ALL of my pepper plants in the ground.

The heat has been bad this year, but we've also had long periods of
dry. Repeatedly they forecasted rain and we had nothing. The grass at
the back of the house is brown and yellow and that didn't happen the
last two years I've gardened. My work schedule has not encouraged me
to be all that attentive, so I don't think I can write off the
varieties of plants I grew this year.
