Joe, before you go crazy with the mulch, those "weeds" look suspiciously like purselane, a very shallow rooter that is all the rage on slads among the green sustainable crowd. All the best New York restaurants are killing for it and it makes a great green mulch (very shallow rooted and not terribly competitive). A close-up would help; a good edible I am keeping in places...

Farmer Lon and G5 are right; fungal it is. And AS is right about low level control with milk, although I ramp the content up for a curative dose to 3:1 water to milk... But peppers love heat so it should come into its own...
