Dying Peppers Update

In an earlier post I described how the excessively wet spring has devastated my pepper plants.

These are a few of my sweet peppers.  Although it is sort of hard to see, notice that the leaves are turning brown and dying.  The bottom leaves are dying and falling off.  The cucumbers behind the peppers are happy.  Peppers need it hot and dry.  These peppers should be full and bushy and full of blooms by this time.  Total devastation.

This pic shows tall pepper plants whose bottom leaves have fallen off.  It is sort of hard to see, but I outlined the leafless stems with a thin red line.

All of the surviving plants are in such poor condition, I don’t know if I will even keep any of the seeds – maybe just use last summer’s seeds next spring.  They are in the freezer so I hope they will sprout next year.
