Well I was going good with bell peppers until they started developing holes in them, near the top where the it attaches to them stem.
There hasn't really been any discoloration. Earlier this summer there was an attack of the Japanese beetels to the tree beside them.
Also, here in Western Pennsylvania it's been dry.
No Leaf changes other than it looks like the Japanese beetles attacked it, but they seem to be gone, but the leafs still have the same appearance.
Is it too dry? or do I have some kind of fungus or bacteria.
Here are the pictures. Kinda big sorry but hopefully that helps

Since it rained good today, I found slugs on my bell peppers and the leaves, could they be the culprit for the chomped on leaves and the circular holes in my bell peppers?

lfhlaw,
You can also place scraps of wood on the ground, the slugs will hide under them during the day and you can collect them by hand.
Since the season for peppers is rapidly coming to an end in our area it is pretty much a moot point anyway.

Always try other, less offensive, methods first. Place shallow saucers, or whatever, with beer near your plants. The slugs get in die happy.Any Particular Insecticide u recommend?
