      Haha yeah, ooo aphids got my bell peppers, I tried every day to get rid of them and they just kept coming back 😭had to wind up throwing the two plants away with a measly yield of one tiny pepper. Yeah looking more at it I’d say whiteflies, definitely hose them all off and then either use a food grade pesticide or an alcohol/water/dish soap spray

      Oh nooo 😭 seems like the bell peppers are getting attacked left and right then ! I wasn’t sure if mine were going to survive 🤣 but I noticed them getting taller and not all the leaves were eaten so I planted ! Gotta hand it to that one tiny pepper lol 💪🏻 sounds good I’ll be doing that later today ! Its scorching hot out now 😅
