Hi Everybody,
Last autumn, I had a problem with my capsicums (green
bell peppers.)
In some, there was a small hole, perhaps half-
centimetre or so diameter. Seeming to lead to
shrivelling at a small fruit size.
Cutting one open revealed something that looked rather
like a slug. It was already dead at that point. It
was larger than the hole, so I figure that it bored in,
and then grew for awhile inside.
This happened on at least half of the capsicums.
Was that really a slug? And, thus, would regular anti-
slug measures ("Slug-go," etc) prevent this? Or was it
something else?
Thanks...
After all the discussion regarding measurements, there doesn't seem to be
an answer given. As there were half a dozen sweet peppers in my garden
with the same issue, I was hoping someone would answer.
