Too much sun also burns the bell types; the hot peppers are unaffected.


These happen uniformly across the bells, bananas, habs, and
serranos. The stems attaching the peppers get so limp that I
think they're gonna drop in moderate wind or rain.

But as long as it's not uncommon...

It just seems this would be affecting their photon intake since
the leaves are curling up. Their growth seems kinda stunted
lately.
