No pic, but I'll try get one when I get home. Before leaving for work this morning, I checked on the plants I still have inside (the runts that weren't worth the effort of getting outside yet) and noticed that on at least 3 of them, they're starting to get tiny little white balls on the main stem. They don't seem completely random, going up the stems in a fairly straight line.
My first thought would be eggs of some sort, but these plants have been inside their entire lives, with no back and forth for contamination. I'd expect some sort of eggs on the ones that made it outside, but for the ones in my kitchen to get them first? Seems wrong, and just a smidge icky. Or rather, whatever the manly version of "icky" is. I shall call this feeling "stripper-less".
Is there any sort of pepper-disease that can manifest as tiny balls on the main stem? Any bugs that like laying eggs on stems that are likely to be found in a kitchen?
