This seems to be playing out with the summer heat setting in and stronger sun light.
The other is they are in containers and require a ton of extra care water and nutrients.
Much of which I dont know anything about or dont claim to anyway.

Thermworks digital probe thermometer.
Soil temps taken at 12:30 PM today.
Containers : 71.4 degrees.
soil at base of in ground plants : 74.4 degrees.
Nope. I think the soil temp is OK. My whole garden is covered with 30% shade cloth, so I haven't had that problem. (see pictures in post #1)
Almost the entire garden is in SIPs, as are these 2 problem plants, and all are working fine, so water is not the issue.
As far as nutrients go... well that is what I'm trying to figure out. This is the 'Growing in containers' section. I'm here hoping that some one has plants in containers that are 10 feet tall and producing like mad and that you will set me straight
That would be great.
