why did my peppers explode in my 7-gallon grow bags this summer?

Last summer, I tried something wild: growing peppers in 7-gallon grow bags in the Houston heat. I was worried the bags might be too small or too big, but I went for it anyway. Turns out, the size was just right. The plants had enough room to stretch their roots, and the soil didn’t dry out too fast, even in the crazy humidity. I kept the bags on my shady patio and watered every morning. The peppers loved it! They grew faster than I expected, and I picked the juiciest ones I’ve ever tasted. I realized that in hot, humid places, you don’t need massive bags—just the right size and a little attention. Now, I can’t wait to try tomatoes next season. #gardeningtips #growbags #houstonlife #zone9b #Gardening
