Thanks Jim C.

    I was afraid that might be what it is. I used a foliage fertilizer with
fish and seaweed stuff in it and the plants are looking better. It seems the
old leaves are what are infected and the new leaves are coming in fine. The
plants are flowering and I have baby Tobascos developing. The sweet peppers
are looking the worst but are also considering flowering. The plants seem to
be "out growing" the problem at least for now.
    I have been policing up fallen leaves and putting them on the burn pile.
(Yep! I am in the country and we can still do that!!) I will dispose of the
affected plants the same way at season's end or when they are obviously
giving up the ghost. For now I will ride this one and hope for a small crop.
Weather pattern is due to change to the "summer drought" pattern - hot and
dry, so if I am careful maybe I can keep it from infecting everything out
side that one bed.

    The big guys suggest ridding an area of related weeds. Yea!! Right!! We
have all of them from Horse nettle to night shade to poke weed to tomatillos
(and a wild native) and of course potatoes and tomatoes as well.

    Thanks for the info.
