Hi,
I'm new to gardening and I'm having trouble keeping my bell pepper plants alive. They're fine for about a week after planting them in the ground but then they fall over from what seems to be a severed stem. The stem is severed just below the soil line so I don't think it's an animal. Could it be an insect of some sort? Please help. I'm on my second batch of plants and would like to keep this new set!
