Hi;

This year I took a class on natural vegetable gardening, but got a late start. I dug a new small plot and mixed in organic manure and spaghum moss into my otherwise sand soil. I planted 1 banana pepper, 1 jalapeno, and 3 varieties of tomatoes. --all seedlings from Lowe's garden center. Within 2 days, the jalapeno appeared wilted, despite it being watered twice since transplanting. I added Gardentone to each seedling per directions, but by the next day, it started dropping leaves. it died within a week. I purchased a cayenne from home depot and planted it near the same spot, and it is now doing the same thing. I have dug for cutworms, and can find nothing.

The dropped leaves have no other abnormalities. Not yellow, no spots, bites, etc. They almost appear to be pinched off where the stem of the leaf attaches to the stem of the plant, which appears undamaged.

Any help would be appreciated!
