Sorry about the slugs. I like having my pepper plants because nothing seems to bother them. The rodents don't chew on them, and I've never had a bug problem. I've hear a lot of people using beer as a means of getting rid of slugs. Might want to buy some super cheap beer, a thrift store plate or two, and let the slugs party under your pepper plants. Party until they drown themselves.

I have also heard of people going out at night with flashlights and hand removing the slugs. Wear some gloves for that one. Slugs are just too gooey!

I think that pepper will regrow. I trimmed off the top half of my favorite pepper plant when it had serious slug damage. It grew young shoots but took a while though. Actually I saved it two years in a role, and it's on its third year now.

If your pepper plants are really young, do you have some empty soda or water bottle that you can make domes from? Those really save my young seedlings from the slugs. Just remember to remove the cap when whether gets warm.

Why don't you buy and spread some Sluggo or EsCarGo on the beds? Both products are organic and will quickly dispatch snails and slugs. I found mine in HD.

My question is not really about the slugs. My question is about whether the damaged plant will regrow.

Yes, damage to pepper plants will not necessarily destroy the entire plant as long as there's a growing node available for new growth and new flowers.

Thanks for the repsonse to my actual question anney. It looks like that stupid slug just munched the top leaves way down to the stem. Let's pray it will grow more.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you!
