In the Northeast ( Norwood , Mass ) I planted Bell , Jalapeno , and Cayenne back in May as we had a late start due to Corona virus shutting down all the farms around us . Temps have been unreal as in the mid to high 90's for a while now also . Just had our first pick today .. Had to adjust the watering and fertilizer ( started using Miracle Grow Pro ) to a more pepper accommodating fertilizer as the others were I think too high in Nitrogen and flowered but did not grow . Although one plant out of 6 flowered and started growing cayennes beautifully . The rest have had a few but not many . I too am a definite rookie ! My biggest issue and still working on it is to keep the very small leaf eating insects and flies off the leave as I think I am getting the flies ( Using neem oil ) under control but not sure about the tiny flying insect . Work in progress ! I also have been looking into Hydroponic but not all the way there yet as I am still learning as well .
