All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

We planted 3 pepper plants (poblano, jalapeño, and Anaheim) in a raised garden bed. Tomatoes in the same bed are doing just fine. We feel like they are getting enough watering but any help would be appreciated!

If they are getting enough water, then it could be either heat or too much sunshine. Try giving them some afternoon shade see if they get better.

But personally I haven't able to save peppers that are this wilted.

Ah that is sad. We kind of figured it might be too late for them, but we will still try to save them.

they actually grow really well in large pot, so you might want to plant them in pot next time so it is easier to move them to different climate and shade.

Also depends on your region, I don't think it is too late to start some seedlings, you might have some harvest before frost, they grow pretty fast.

That’s a great idea! We will for sure try that out!
