We planted 3 pepper plants (poblano, jalapeño, and Anaheim) in a raised garden bed. Tomatoes in the same bed are doing just fine. We feel like they are getting enough watering but any help would be appreciated!

Zone 7b. It’s low- to upper-80s lately, but it does get a bit of afternoon shade. I see a new cluster of flowers taking shape, so I’ll keep an eye on them and maybe do some pollinating of my own.
Hmm that doesn’t seem like it’d be hot enough to cause consistent drop assuming nighttime lows are at least getting to 70.
I do some self pollination on the plants I baby the most, but a big help for me was when I started actually changing what I fed throughout the growing season. A lower N, higher P fertilizer when I wanted to switch from growing to fruiting helped me get a lot more fruit.
