    What type of peppers are they? I’ve never messed with supporting peppers beyond just staking them vertical.

    That being said, your poly as an impromptu green house could be an interesting idea and with a bit of tweaking you could probably keep them alive past first frost.

      A variety, bells, habanero, jalapeño, cayanne, dragon roll.

      Most planter ones come with cages, I’m also in a valley and the wind gusts, so if bamboo stakes work, that’s a lot better. I also have tomatoe and sunflowers in the same bed though with taller supports anyways, I can build something over the cages and bamboo stakes, but not those.

      But in the fall those supports would be in, so want to account for them anyways. I’ll likely make a pvc frame and drape some shade/critter/frost cloths over depending on the needs.

        I’ve always wanted to build a PVC “cube” to set over my raised beds… just one of those I’ve never pulled the trigger on. I might see about it to keep my basil going a bit deeper into the cold months.

        I’d love to see it if you ever do get around to it.
