Squash and Pepper Problem

13 years ago

Good Saturday afternoon!

I seem to have developed some sort of problem with one of my squash plants and my pepper plants and possibly two basil plants. It APPEARS that whatever this is started on the squash leaf, the leaf is in close proximity with pepper #1 (a "Big Bertha") whose lower leaves have fallen and top leaves are starting to show brown spots, have popper on to pepper #2 (a "Giant Marconi"), and looks like its moving to pepper #3 (a regular green Bell). There are four leaves on the squash plant that have this green/yellow...spot pattern...the rest of the leaves are normal and there are flowers and fruit under the leaves. There is another squash plant next to this one with leaves that are perfect - lovely green and happy looking. It also has fruit and flowers. The squash leaf problems and whatever is going on with the peppers might have nothing to do with each other.

Here are some other facts...

I fertilized with MiracleGro liquid spray on Wednesday.

It rained really heavily on Thursday.

It was horrifically windy on Friday (squash got the front-line brunt of the wind).

The spots on the squash were noticed this morning as were the spots on the pepper leaves. I spent about 15 minutes a day in the garden minimum except for this Thursday. I didn't notice anything unusual Friday. I will post more pix as replies to this post to see if that helps at all.
