I have the same problem here in Holland with both sweet and hot peppers. So
any advice will help. Also I noticed that some of my peppers and tomatillos
have a split stem. Above the soil line they appear to have bursted out of
their skin. Anybody know what the problem there is? I hope this won't hurt
my crop since I have so many disappointments to deal with already. The
plants look healthy and are still growing although covered with those damn
ants and aphids. I'm spraying like crazy but they keep finding a way to rise
again! Oy, this sucks! My second year of gardening and it's not going too
great. ARGH!!!!!

Miss Dewi, angry and sad
