Default Habaneros?

Has anyone grown those hot peppers before?



What sort of pests would be eating the daylights out of the leaves? I

planted a couple and have babied them through the spring temps only to

have something chew up those pretty leaves!



Any ideas? Will the plants survive being eaten like that?

It could be slugs. They have totally eaten my kale seedlings this year. Try using Sluggo. It's an organic (iron phosphate)treatment that works wonders on slugs and snails.
