I just wanted to reach out to thank everyone who gave me advice on saving my badly struggling pepper plants. I thought they were gone for good- but as of this morning, I can see new growth ranging from millimeter-sized bits of green nubs, to recognizable (yet very small) leaves.

Out of eight plants, there is just a 12.5% death rate, it appears. One Anaheim plant isn't showing any sign of bouncing back. Not too bad. I never would have known what I was doing wrong without all the guidance I got here!

I now look forward to more competently growing some new varieties in the coming year.
