Bell & Ross Question&Answer:

I found little green bugs, oval, and less than 2mm long, on the bottoms of the leaves. I am assuming they are the culprits. How do I get rid of them ?…..witout killing the bees, if possible. I live in northern CA.

Answer by NigHtaRRoW
er..try pesticides. Shouldn’t there be some kinds that don’t affect larger insects? If that dosen’t work, torch those little buggers.

Bell & Ross Question&Answer:

I am located in Northern California. A few turnips are also affected, On none of these plants do I see any leaf-eating mites or eggs. The leaves are not crinkled.

Answer by Mark H
Maybe slugs, put a few pie tins out with some beer in them. See if any drown in there. Or get a few toads, they munch on thousands of slugs each season.

The leaves have sections eaten out and they curl up and get brown and yellow spots. Spraying with insecticide doesn’t seem to help. Other plants in the garden aren’t affected only the pepper plants. If you have any ideas for combating this problem It would be greatly appreciated.

Answer by M L
Aphids, most likely. But it could be a disease too. Check out Gardening Know How, they cover all kinds otopics disease topics: http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/vegetable/pepper-problems.htm

I planted bell pepper plants for the first time this year. They seem to be growing and flowering fine, but there appears to be a sticky substance on the leaves. (It looks like they have been sprayed with a fine mist of something sticky, but I have not sprayed them with anything.) Since I am new at this, I was wondering if this is normal or not. I have noticed a few bugs, but nothing major. Please help!

Answer by Nea,Nea
That is natural w/ the sticky substance. Its almost their self device. Just wash well when their ripe and enjoy!!!

I repotted and brought my pepper plants in 2 months ago. Had them in a cold frame but it got too cold so I brought them in, since they are a tropical plant, I have them by an east and south window getting at least 6 hours light. If its overcast I turn the grow lights on. They did stop flowering but each has 2 peppers on them.I have red, orange, purple and yellow!
I’ve read and heard from a friend that I will actually get a headstart next spring when I put them out again! I don’t expect them to produce but I want to give them what they need for now.
I don’t expect them to produce while they are inside, but next spring or summer they should according to what I’ve heard.
I got peppers from my plants all last summer. They are mature plants 3 ft tall.

Answer by lilabner
a bell pepper is an annual plant, feeding it will not help, it is going to die. Even if you keep it alive it won’t produce again. Have you just grown new plants from seed?
If these are new plants just use some miracle grow by the directions.

I intend to use store-bought charcoal to remove the pollutants first. Would this work? I’m doing this because my water bills have been very high and it hasn’t rained much lately.

Answer by Tex
Water straight out of the lake will work just fine, no need to filter it.

The places where shoots come off the main stem of the plant have turned black. I don’t know if it is normal or not. The black regions were not their when we first bought the plant.Our plant looks healthy otherwise though.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer by nataliexoxo
those are rot spots or mold.
is the area where they are planted very damp?

They have been regularly watered and fertilized and have lots of sun. The pepper walls are also quite thin.
Mentalvalor, I have 4 plants, which I started from heritage seeds. I have 4 jalapenos next to them [yeah, this is my first year gardening so I didn't realize not to do that!], and those 4 plants I started from cheap seeds, and they are very small plants also, even smaller than the bell pepper. You can email me through my profile.

Answer by mentalvalor
How many plants are you growing? If it it 3 or 4, it is possible that all of them happen to be duds. Keep in mind how small the seeds are; it does happen.

On the other hand, if you have more plants, there definitely is something wrong.

I’m sorry, it really does sound like you are doing everything correct. But I’m flabbergasted. Are you available to chat via email?

this is my first time planting peppers, can I plant them in pots like tomatoes?

Answer by Barbara H
I have been doing peppers for about 5 years now. One year I tried planting them in pots but they hardly produced anything. Mine have always done better directly in the garden.
In my area of Wisconsin during this time of year, it is very windy. I have also staked my pepper plants in fear that the wind will break them. I think the staking also helps support the plants for the weight of the peppers. The plants grow anywhere from 12 – 24″.
Hope all goes well with yours. Happy gardening.
