I had to chuckle at that last line. After May, we won't get rain until usually October. Maybe some summer thunder showers that are brief and just serve to bump the humidity.

Last year, I had my "best" pepper plants yet. They were in fabric grow bags, 15 gallon I think, planted 3 per. They weren't happy at first with the bagged soil used in the mix, but they started doing better eventually. I'll figure it out eventually...

I did a few in Walmart shopping bags in kiddie pools with 2" of water. They grew real fast, but I did run into support problems. We had bad storms, and lots of them broke they were so tall. I wasn't always punctual about keeping the water filled. So they did dry out a time or two.

Also peppers don't like soil as hot as tomatoes do. You should use a little more filler and a little less N.

Got a 30x4 ft bed planted with two different onion and two different cabbages planted down the center. Plan on finishing off the center with spinach or lettuces.
I noticed someone a while back asking about hempy buckets outside. I cant comment on that but I can say I have had great results using the same 7 gal smart pots I do for my cannabis indoors and the used soil, outdoors for tomatoes and peppers in the summer.
Cheers :)

We had two hay fields of coastal. A little of it is growing by my pole barn where we used to feed the cows. That is some growing stuff. I've had it get so tall it fell over. It rained everyday one summer, and we couldn't cut it for a couple of months.

It can be dry here too. But last year it rained 21 straight days in June. It rained all the way through to late August, then not a drop in September or October. I can deal with just about anything if I can plan on it. It's the not knowing wtf is going to happen next that makes it rough.
