| Hi, I am planting my first vegetable garden and have noticed that my pepper and tomato plants already have some abnormality on their leaves. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at the picture and letting me know what you think the cause is I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Dave |

| Look at the under side of the leaves. Something may have chewed there leaving only the top membrane. -Terry |

| Environmental damage - sun scald/wind burn. Both common in spring plantings depending on where you are located - which would be nice to include in the space provided for best info. Poses no long term harm to the plants unless they weren't well hardened off prior to planting. Dave |

| The sun damage would be consistent with our weather ��" there have been a few consecutive sunny days lately and until then the plants had been in a sunroom waiting for nighttime temperatures to drop. I filled in the zone box. Missed it when posting from my phone and didn't even think about the importance. Hopefully it doesn't show much more about me other than being new to the art. Thank you all! Looking forward to learning a lot more this summer. Dave |
