50 is not bad at all, even mid 40's but plants will slow their growth, as long as there is no freeze should be fine. I will be getting 45 at night this coming week and my plants are in pots and will leave them out.

Agree with Mark. 50's aren't bad at all. And in the fall for you northerners, it's the PROLONGED periods in the 40's that slow peppers down. I'm willing to bet mulch can give one a few more weeks of decent productivity than without. Might just get those semi-ripened superhots to fully ripened.

Awesome. I have plastic mulch down and just built a rain irrigation for the garden.

So three nights in the upper 40s should be OK? I just put my plants outside this week, and we have three such nights coming this weekend. Daytime highs will be 70ish.

Hi Matt,

I am in PA and we got about 4 nights 45 degrees and I am leaving mine out. Same day time temps 70's they will be fine.

Mark

Thanks.

Double post. Disregard.
