pepper problem
In our last fun filled episode, 12 May 2004 20:39:33 -0700,
(C.A. Brice) proclaimed:
I recently planted some pepper seedlings and the new growth is coming

It looks as though you have some sort of sucking insect. Check
for aphids or whiteflies. Spraying with a soap solution would
take care of the immediate problem, but you might want to look
into some ladybugs or lacewings to control the pest populations.
Here's a nice site for diagnosising problems:
