Although the eggplants have perked up and are growing i noticed this today. Any ideas?

Probably insects or caterpillars chewing on it. It appears to be on an older leaf. As long as the new growth looks good, prune it off and monitor the new growth for issues. If you can see any bugs that’ll help determine how to treat it. Neem oil will help deter pests. If it’s caterpillars, thuricide or spinosad.

Also, bell peppers look like this

Fungal or bacterial. Treat with peroxide (refer to OP for mixing chart link.)

Also, I would strongly recommend mulching around your plants. It prevents soil from getting on your leaves which could cause disease problems. I used to use wood mulch. Works well, just don’t let it touch the base of the plant. I’ve switched to pine straw and like it better.

Did you use a broadcast spreader? Odds are it’s due to overlap when you spread.
