Well, this is a first! After harvesting some peppers this morning, I noticed the tip of one was missing. I just figured it was the grasshoppers. We have tons of them here, and they are always hanging around on my pepper plants, though I've never actually noticed them eating the plant, or the pods. When I cut the pepper open, an earwig came slithering out. NASTY!!! They did a good bit of damage to my zucchini plants this year, which are down at the community garden, but I have never seen any around the peppers, or noticed any insect damage.
It's the end of the season here, so I'm not going to break out any chemicals at this point, but just so I'll be ready next year, I'm wondering how other people deal with them.
