This is my lowly, humble first attempt at trying to grow peppers. I have
four plants, two jalapenos, one Capistrano, and one Jupiter. My plants look
pitiful. I've used sevin dust. Can anyone tell what's wrong with them by
these pictures? Some leaves are eaten, some have brown spots. I have two
jalapenos on the first plant. On the second plant, I had one jalapeno that
came off in my hand when I held it to look at it-- that was maybe over a
month ago, and it was still green. This same plant had one more, it turned
red. It didn't come off easily when I tried to pick it. The third plant is
the Capistrano-- I hadn't heard of these, and have no idea what color it's
supposed to be. There's been only one pepper on that plant, and the fourth,
the Jupiter, hasn't had any peppers at all. The plants are all about 2'
tall.
I'd appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, etc. They're planted in a small
strip of ground next to my garage. The soil was poor, but I used a bag of
potting soil for vegetables.
Thanks!!!! (Please be gentle--like I said, this is my first attempt.) :-)
