kittriana said:9a? Along the Gulf Coast? Sun all day- you face south for the plants? Might give them DEEP pots, Deep afternoon shade with a breeze. Leaf curl -look at your plants close for bugs. Houston gardeners have had to update their growing methods from 10 yrs ago-our conditions have changed so much. I personally don't like that oregano, I have Hill Top oregano from Madalene Hill Herbs (rights acquired by The Arborgate) and would consider Mexican Oregano... Don't water in the heat of day, right now best is evening watering so you don't steam the plants in the dirt- provide shade for the dirt in the pots sitting in the heat. Humidity,I think being above ground level is actually healthier humidity wise to avoid the downy mildews here on things like sages, lavendar, sweet basils....
Pod, my jalapenos just turn limp when wilted, the leaf curl is on my goat horn pepper and it has produced zip for fruits. About to throw it in the burn pile.
