I'm in zone 9. It's been a very hot and humid summer here. I just keep my plants in the shade and don't water until they soil is dry even let them wilt a bit. Because of the heat they have been slow to bloom. I had really bad blossom drop on my Jalapeno about 6 weeks ago bt now It's doing amazing, I have tons of blooms and just about every one is getting fertilized (always see honey bees pollinating the flowers) and turning into a pepper.
