# Built a raised garden bed and planted some banana peppers, Anaheim…

_Posted by Michael on 2024-06-05_

Built a raised garden bed and planted some banana peppers, Anaheim peppers, and Tabasco peppers. All looking good except my banana pepper is a bit droopy. I think it may be due to it being cloudy here the past few days, so I’m hoping with today being sunnier it will help. If anyone has some advice it’d be greatly appreciated!

Is it normally getting all day sun? It looks like it’s in partial shade.

Yeah, it’s the only spot I really have unfortunately. It gets about 6 hours of sun. I bought a grow light to help get a few extra hours of light to see if that helps.

My guess would be that it needs more sun. I had a similar problem one year and I moved the box into all-day, full sun. The problem went away and I garnered much more bounty.
