Twisted Pepper Plants

20 years ago

I've done a search both here and in the veggie forum and can't find what's wrong with my peppers. Hope someone can help. I have noticed that about 75% of my plants have some sort of disease I've never seen before. The plants are "twisted" looking, don't know how else to describe it. I have Sunbells and Arianes in the same bed. Sunbells look great, the Arianes are curled and twisted and not blooming at all. I have jalepenos in another bed (they never did look great) and a mix of chiles from Pinetree in another bed with eggplants. All of the jalepenos are starting to get that twisted look, although some have set fruit. The chiles (all but one plant) are all twisted too. Some plants were bought local, some were started at home. Doesn't seem to matter, though. I know they aren't setting fruit real well due to the 90+ temps we've had, but I can't figure out what is deforming the plants themselves. I always fight airborne fungal disease with the tomatoes and this year, I had some sort of wilt disease kill all the watermelons. Any ideas? I've grown peppers for eons and never seen this. Don't have a camera or I'd take pictures.
