Re: Pepper leaves

I am no authority, but when I see this, I rip the plants out of the ground
and get rid of them quick.  I wash my hands thoroughly after handling these
plants.  I don't touch any other plant until I've thrown these things out and
washed my hands.  I think it is some kind of virus or something.  OK, now you
all know--I'm wacko.  However, on a saner note, the fact that these plants
were exposed to 40-degree nights may explain why the leaves look so weird.
And I have never seen all my peppers affected like this.  I usually see just
one (or two at most).
