Richard, I've about given up on my Bell Peppers this year. They lost all of their large leaves and now they just have small ones. No fruit production. Someone suggested a virus, others mites or nematodes. Now I don't know. Any suggestions? I've had been spraying Neem and then I switched to Insecticidal Soap.

I have about 1 out of 10 peppers give me grief each year. This year it is a Poblano, last year it was a Cayenne. In all the past years I have dug up the plant and found it had poor root development. Probably will be the same story again this year. The plants have no excuses either, what with the Kryptonite diet and all. I rarely spray my pepper plants because most pests leave them alone and go right for my squash plants. If the leafs start to get holes, I spray with a pyrethrin (African chrysanthemum oil). Be sure to keep mulch around the plants and don't under or over water.
