Pepper plants peppered with purple spots

 

Sigh.  So now the pepper are covered in purple spots.  All my plants have
big purple spots on the leaves.  They were not there yesterday.

Must admit this is turning out to be a bad year.  New pots, fresh planting
mix, natural fertilizer.  I read a lot about container gardening and thought
I was doing it right.  And I'll probably not try again next year.

I may raise Rottweilers instead.

It is a hobby - especially container gardening.  It is just fun to have
things growing in the yard other than grass.   But it's no fun when it all
gets consumed by bugs

If your sure it's bugs,  I'd forget natural or growing organic.  I'd hit
them with Sevin and be done with it.  Bet if most organic growers wanted
to be honest,  they no doubt lose 2/3 of their crops each year to bugs!

True organic is a challenge.  For example I planted marigolds in the tomato
planters to discourage bugs.  The bugs ate them.

So do you know what those black/purple spots could be?  Would a picture
help?
