Any ideas on what could be going on with my peppers? I've had this happen to two, a Jimmy Nardello and an Aji Charapita. The Aji died before I fertilized, this one shortly after. Only about a tablespoon of 10-10-10 on it. It's been doing well the last 3 weeks or so. Hasn't moved location. Soil is moist but not soaked so I don't think it was under/overwatered. Happened overnight.

Did it happen to the two plants at different times? Has herbicide been sprayed in the area?

Within a few daysof each other, about 6' apart. I haven't sprayed any herbicides in my yard yet. Neighbors never spray any. The rest of the peppers in the spot are looking great. Just has me worried that this is going to happen to all of them.

That is odd man. When you pull it up, post a photo of what the roots look like. It could be nematodes.

You have good soil in those pots? Any chance it's just compacted clay and water just drained out the outside?

It's a mix of my own compost and promix. It's done pretty well in the past years. There were some lumps of clay in the compost but I pulled those out when mixing it.

Any ideas what could be wrong with my tomato’s? These were planted a month ago and have not grown a single bit. I have peppers in the same type of box and soil in the same locations, and while they haven’t gotten much taller, they have started to produce flowers.

That's a lot of decomposing wood chips...is there enough nitrogen left over for your plants??

I added 5-1-1 Fish fertilizer to it last week. The wood chips is the Miracle Gro Organic all natural mulch. Should I not be using this? Do i need to add more nitrogen?
I bought another tomato and pepper plant and planted those last weekend in individual pots without the mulch. I guess we shall see.

I have a mixture of tomatoes and peppers I started from seed and the same bought from home stores. The ones I started aren't doing anything for the most part. The store bought ones are growing well with the exception of two bells that are a mystery. I may be done with that experiment unless I can't find a particular tomato or pepper.

My 3 year old Rio Grande peach tree is loaded. Already culled some and propped the limbs up since it looked like it was threatening to crack itself. I've read that you're supposed to cull to one peach every 4 to 6 inches but I can't convince myself to do it. About to put an insect/bird net around it.

As long as the chips are just on top, and not in the soil, I would think you're fine on nitrogen... I see a fence right next to the bed. You sure it's not shading them for most of the day?

That box is facing south and gets sun almost the entire day.

How much are you watering? I just got educated from the board that I was watering too much. Now that I’ve layed off I can already see a difference.
Posted on 4/18/24 at 11:40 am to meeple
I was watering every day for the first week or two. I saw on here as well that i could be watering to much so I've been watering every other day.

Water when an inch below the surface is dry. The tomatoes look to have a phosphorus deficiency. The peppers look over-watered.

I can't figure out why 1 of the 20 tomatoes have a few brown spots. Any suggestions on what it can be?
Posted on 4/18/24 at 10:33 pm to LSUfansabanhater
Someone posted this back a bit and I found it helpful. Could it possibly be a slight cold injury? Does the fruit or the leaves have brown spots?

Thanks. The leaves look exactly cold weather injury but I just planted them two weeks ago and we haven't had cold weather since.
