Yeah, I've had a bug chewing on the leaves
of some of my plants. They seem to prefer
the annuum and chinense, while leaving the
baccatum unscathed, and only one tiny hole
in one of 5 rocotos. A little Sevin stopped
that problem, and I found a little brownish
worm in its death throes, so I humanely
squished it out of its misery. Interestingly,
during hardening-off I brought some aphids
into the house. I removed them by hand
and spraying water. Since putting the plants
in the garden, the aphids have not returned,
(and they were in the ground for over a week
before the pesticide application).
