Sigh. So now the pepper are covered in purple spots. All my plants have big purple spots on the leaves. They were not there yesterday.
Must admit this is turning out to be a bad year. New pots, fresh planting mix, natural fertilizer. I read a lot about container gardening and thought I was doing it right. And I'll probably not try again next year.
I may raise Rottweilers instead.
One day folks will believe when I say home vegetable gardening is a hobby, not a way to save money on produce.
It is a hobby - especially container gardening. It is just fun to have things growing in the yard other than grass. But it's no fun when it all gets consumed by bugs

If your sure it's bugs, I'd forget natural or growing organic. I'd hit them with Sevin and be done with it. Bet if most organic growers wanted to be honest, they no doubt lose 2/3 of their crops each year to bugs!
Rich
True organic is a challenge. For example I planted marigolds in the tomato planters to discourage bugs. The bugs ate them.
So do you know what those black/purple spots could be? Would a picture help?
Paul
Snails Loooove marigolds
Yes
