You are quite right about the heat especially for bells but also affects my frying peppers. I start them early and get a decent crop in June- early July. Keep them alive with lots of water through July- August the reap a major harvest from late September to frost, which usually for me is around Thanksgiving. Once temps reached continuos triple digits, they shut down and sulk. Hot peppers are more tolerant of heat, but even the Jalapenos and mushrooms produce much more in the fall
