Ponytail said:I have 3 tomato plants and 3 pepper plants. I have been trying to figure out why the damn things aren't bearing any fruit. I've had LOTS of buds on all of them, but so far have only seen one tomato.
So, I was looking VERY closely at all of these plants daily, this week, and have noticed that the leaves and buds are slowly disappearing from the bottom up. They are being chewed off. I can see tiny teeth marks. That's the only evidence. There is nothing on the ground. Just disappearing leaves/branches and buds from teh bottom up with tiny teeth marks left behind on teh remainder of teh plants.
I have one pepper plant that hasn't grown since I planted it, but its still alive. Everytime it sprouts a new leaf or branch, its gone within a day.
Any ideas what I can do? spicy pepper spray or somthing? I hate to put mice/rat poison out there, cuz i don't want to smell dead animals out there or in my shed, not in this heat.
PT I am not having problems with my tomater's, but my peppers and bell peppers are starting to flower, then they are GONE!. Little shreds of leaves on the ground below them. The stems are bare at the bottom end and fine at the top. Kinda wierd.
