I am growing two plants each of several different peppers in 5-1-1 in 10-gallon smart pots in Southwest Ohio. The peppers were started indoors March 3 and planted out May 19. They all have blooms and some fruit. I find that they show me when they need water by a slight wilting. With hot sunny days, that has been every two or three days. Pay attention to when the leaves start to wilt and then time your next watering to a little before that is likely to happen.
