Never seen the spirals like that. Interesting. I hope someone has some insight.

Damn, it does. Thankfully it was only 3 leaves. Just googled prevention methods and I guess I'll be heavily cleaning up my backyard of dead leaves/branches this weekend. We have a large bougainvillea that blows leaves everywhere. Need to trim it back heavily..

Don't quote me. I'm sure someone else will give you more insight. I've seen those spirals on my tomatoes before. Alternaria was the culprit.

Good luck

Phoma.sp or ragged leaf spot is my guess. That leaves spiral spots on the leaves.

Well I just googled anthracnose and some of the images there look exactly like what I have(albeit a little bit farther along in the disease)

Fortunately it doesn't appear to have hit my fruit just yet.. I might have caught it in early stages.

EDIT: Crap.. now it looks like ragged leaf spot also. You gotta love babying peppers and they get things like this..

Yeah in a pot. I've basically gone through all my peppers and cut off all the sunburned, shriveled, pinched and badly folded leaves. Basically any leaf that didnt look healthy I cut away and tossed into a zip lock bag and threw in the trash.

I'm 99% certain this is being caused by my bougainvillea. I have a patio cover and it's growing ontop of it and the leaves fall down around my peppers. I'm guessing its about time to heavily prune it back.

So I found out what's going on with my peppers. I have Pepper Ringspot Virus.. not real sure what to do at this point. Wondering if I should just scorch all my peppers with it or what.. seems like there's no cure.

Grind up two aspirin and sprinkle on the soil below the plant. Hydrate the plants well and PM me in the morning.

Doctor's orders lol

Well I'm sorry to hear that. Are you sure it's PRV? Doesn't seem very popular, unless you're in Brazil.

It's affected 3 plants, all with similar conditions. Stunted plant, stunted leaves and circles on leaves. and leaves droop. First 2 pics are my Bishop cap.. it should be a lot bigger by now.. third pic is my Sagaretto di Bergamo pepper.

I don't have any aspirin right now but I'm going to run to the store in about 30minutes..

Where are you? What zone?

Southern California, zone 10/11..

So I have Excedrin which says it contains aspirin and I have Advil but it doesnt say what is in the advil. Will either work or should I just head on to the store to pick up some Bayer?

EDIT: Nevermind, Advil doesnt have aspirin, has ibuprofen.

My plants mentioned that their headache is gone, so I think we're good.

Lol. If nothing else, they're headache-free. If someone ever came up with plant medicine, to cure viruses and diseases, they would be insanely rich. It could be called Plantibiotics :-)

Better yet, find a magic cure for human viruses and diseases. But, alas, our plants and us just have to do the best we can.

Your best bet would be to toss the infected plants and sterilize the pots they were in. Toss the dirt around the pots, too. Tobacco farmers used to burn entire fields and leave them because viruses like this can survive in the soil for decades. There unfortunately isn't a cure for these viruses.

Absolutely. What's your winter like, over in SoCal?

I'm wondering if you can just start over. May not be able to keep them outdoors the whole time, but if you have some good grow lights, you could keep them indoors when it cools down.

Just a thought. I know certain varieties do better than others indoors.

Our winters are cool and sunny. Dropping into the high 30's and low 40's at night, topping out at high 60s and low 70s during the day.

Basically we can take annuals and turn them into perennials, theres no real growing season, it's year round. :D

Wow. Your winter is perfect for leafy and root vegetables.

Its sunny hear year round which is great.. just have to deal with earthquakes.

I've tilled my parents soil before.. the only time they've ever had a plant die is due to neglect.. I grow in containers so I don't have to deal with tilling.

Containers are great for lots of vegetables, but I prefer raised beds for root and leafy vegetables. More so root crops, because some need that depth.
