I went ahead and watered it from the bottom yesterday and let the water drain out. Leaves still look the same today and water was still draining out this morning and I had a golf ball sized pepper fall off overnight and it was laying in the dirt. Not sure what's up with that, but I drilled even more holes in the bottom of the container to speed up the draining. I'm just going to leave it be for awhile. I'm not sure I like that natures care potting mix. Seems to hold moisture too well. I checked the soil moisture of a 20"L x 9"D plastic window box I planted strawberries in and it maxed out the digital moisture meter. I haven't watered it in a week and it's been sitting in direct sun with 85 degree air temps everyday. I've got plenty of large drain holes on the bottom too. Next time I'll make my own mix. Part of being a rookie I guess...
