| A couple of our bell pepper plants have yellow leaves with spots on them. Thought I saw some holes in those leaves too. Yet when I inspected the plant--didn't see any bugs/worms. What could this be? |

| Yellow leaves often means too much water. Without a photo, it's hard to say for sure, but that is my first guess. |

| Peppers have their share of pests...even the Tomato Hornworm will feast on it's fruit. Holes can be a number of different beetle or caterpillar types. In my experience - unless the plants are be severely compromised - I leave them alone. Except if I see hornworm evidence (frass on the leaves...[poop]). Then I must do seek and destroy - actually seek and give to the chickens - a real treat for them. |
