It's normal for peppers to wilt in the heat, but as long as they perk up once the heat/sun passes,
they'll be just fine.

I had a friend whose container peppers would do the same thing. He kept watering and watering and
watering the poor plants, until I simply moved a container into a shaded location for 15 minutes and
proved to him that the plant would perk up out of the sun/heat.

Thanks. That's what I was hoping. They do recover pretty quickly when the heat/sun passes. Though here in central Texas mid-80s are pretty frigid compared to what we're going to be seeing in a few months. I guess I have to hope that, with better developed root systems, they'll do OK in the summer.

Still somewhat peculiar that the pimentos are fine, but the bananas are drooping. I've never done pimentos before, so I have no experience with them.
