Agreed, they have less water needs and though they do go for the same nutes in general, I give my peppers more fish emulsion (potted and in-ground) on a regular basis after planting for the season and they benefit from it nicely. As for the leaf munching, agreed again. Mine have shown some marginal chomping right now, but nothing major. I just worry with all the wet we're having that slugs will come out in full force. Luckily I have kids who like to destroy pest animals, including slugs.
