I can't do much about the heat here in SoCal. Even the shade is 92F today
and literature says peppers drop over 90F. So my bell peppers have started
to drop their buds and small fruit. I have several larger peppers holding
their own. The plant is not stressed, it gets water every day and needs it,
the nights have been rather warm and the days in the low 90s. I gave them
all a drink of magnesium this morning - 2 tablespoons for a gallon of water.
What else can I do? The one that drops the most buds is in a 5 gallon white
bucket. Could the roots be getting too hot? I was thinking about wrapping
some foil around the bucket.

You may want to test the temperature of your soil, as this would give you a good indication whether you roots are getting too warm.

Thank you and Happy Gardening! ~ Sarah
