| I have been having nearly constant problems with my peppers ( Jalapeno, Jimmy Nardello, Marconi, Bell). They are all started from seed in peat pots and look great. Within 2 - 3 weeks of placement into the garden, the leaves begin to curl. The plants usually survive but growth and production is slow at best. I do get some whitefly and aphid problems at times but they are easily treated with a very mild soap/oil solution.
I was told this could be spider mites so I have been tyring sulfur weekly without any real change. I have also looked for them under a microscope on leaves and found nothing!
Could this be a soil problem or fungus? Thanks in advance for advice.
