Could it be the soil?? Type of water?? Well or city?? How about fertilizer?? We have city water but collect it off the roof into 40 gal buckets and down to 5 gal I get from the supermarkets. Those buckets are filled to the top with my soil and holes drilled up from bottom about 3" to give the roots more water as the plants grow. I have a basil plant that makes yours look like 1st prize at the county fair. Don't know why. Kim
O.K. garden experts: What going on with my pepper plants? Every other plant in the garden is doing great which includes tomatoes, lettuce, baby corn, and zucchini. They suddenly started to wilt and one was so bad it was a lot cause. Two of the four never seemed to grow well although they did develop buds and one pepper. I wondering if I just bought bad plants. Is it too late to plant seeds and start over? Not enough water can't be it as I water them every morning unless it rains. Maybe too much water? Too much sun? I did notice roots were exposed on one which could have been from the nozzle on the garden hose set to too much pressure. I covered the roots. But that doesn't explain the others.
any sign of bugs? Looks like lack of water but not if you water daily. Peppers don't like too wet of soil but that doesn't look like your problem as that normally turns them yellow.
Pull your straw back and see if the soil is wet or dry. Check about four inches from the plant about 4” deep..
Most of the old family farms around here that went out of business have sold their barns for barn wood or in the process.. Sad to see them go.
