Bugs eating my Sweet Pepper Leaves :-(

How can I stop this happening, and does anyone know when I will start seeing the peppers ?

Does anyone now before my leaves are all munched :-(

Haven't experienced that, but my nasturtium leaves are now like string vests

As for your peppers appearing, have they flowered? The peppers follow the flowers

Just spray with some sort of bug spray, are you sure it is bugs & not snails / slugs?

Spay & pellet to be sure

As stated, peppers follow flowers

Are yours inside or out?

Outside is dubious in UK climate, no doubt some one has tons cropping outside, but generally peppers prefer the warmth

I have them outside...I can see the buds beginning...but the leaves will need to get sprayed or something !!

:A I have, although I must say I don't have a greenhouse. I was quite surprised really with having a hot spring and not so hot summer. They are all going great guns, actually one of the bell peppers (not yet ripe) is almost twice the size of one I paid 90p for this afternoon.

Mine also have holes in the leaves which I have put down to snails, pick a tiny fellow off one this evening.

Depends on what type of bugs, if its aphids like we had on my chilli plants then watered down washing up liquid sprayed on to them will do the trick.

Dumb !!!, I just re read the first post and aphids don't eat leaves so ignore my last post
