I thought I had avoided it too until recently!shite hey - i feel for ya gas
i didnt get a pepper all last season due to the prob your having. Still dont know what caused it
So far this year, ive avoided it, thank god
I do recall you having the same issues last season. The only advice I can give if you start noticing any of the same signs this season is to start treating for mites immediately.
While I am not 100% sure it is mites, I would still bet my bottom dollar that it is. FadeToBlack was having the exact same thing going on too and it sounds like things improved for him considerably after he started treating for mites.....
