Someone earlier this week was asking what might cause her peppers to not be
growing.  I had the same problem earlier and discovered it was red spider
mites.  They are so small you can't see them on the plant but if you pick a
leaf or pepper and place it on a piece of white paper you might see one or
two come off.

I don't know of an organic solution, so I used Kalthane to get rid of them.
The label says it is just a two day wait from time of spraying until you
can resume harvesting, so it doesn't sound too deadly to people.
