Hello!
This year I became interested in growing peppers in containers on my patio. I purchased seeds for a few varieties and successfully germinated and transplanted them.
The peppers were doing well until a few weeks ago. I began to notice that one of the plants' new leaves were growing malformed. Over time all the other plants began showing various symptoms including malformed leaves, dark or black spots, holes and wilting. I took some snapshots of the peppers today and placed them in this album:

The varieties I have are Black Hungarian, Cyklon, Lemon Drop and Fatali. They all seemed to be doing quite well up until I noticed the first problem with the leaves on one of the Black Hungarians.
It's sad seeing it happen but I'd like to try to do this again. I'd like to know if anyone could offer some help identifying what is wrong and how I might avoid this in the future.
Thanks in advance!
