So we are growing peppers for our second year this year. Everything went well until we did our transplanting into 3 gallon containers. We bought this awesome pelleted fertilizer from our local garden co op store. We bought 2 bags, and by accident when going to transplant we chose the wrong bag of fertilizer for our plants! Now all our pepper plants are losing the leaves and every day we go back to look at them more and more leaves keep falling off and a lot of them are dying. We were really looking forward to saving the seeds and eating the peppers but now we may not have any for next year! We learned a truly hard lesson. If anyone has any sweet, super hot and ornamental peppers to give to us we would really appreciate it! We have some flower seeds we can exchange in return and a few of our pepper seeds from 2014.
Thank you,
Kim

**Update** Well we drown the heck out of them 2-3 days ago and it looks like perhaps damage is at least not getting any worse. There are a massive amount of little flowers forming all over the chinense varieties now so if they survive perhaps all is not lost.
But we have lost about 5% of our plants completely and about 75% of the remaining really show the affects of the fertilizer..bad leaf drop.
Will take photos and show you all the progress
