Jim,

High humidity?  I thought that lack of shade and dry heat would make my
peppers hotter.  If high humidity will do it then I am in luck as our temps
have been around 90 degrees and extremely high humidity!

I have got 'maters on and peppers on my cayennes and blossoms on the habs,
super chiles, jalapenos.  Looking forward to salsa!
