    Bacterial Leaf Spot question

    My understanding is that there’s no real treatment for leaf spot once it sets hold. I had a single plant come down with it this year and ended up pulling it out because I didn’t want to risk spreading it to the rest of the garden.

    Peppers wrinkling and getting soft on plant before ripening
