re: 2024 Spring Garden Thread

I've lost two more pepper plants in the past week. They go from looking healthy to wilted and dying almost overnight. This has happened to both potted peppers and peppers I planted in the ground.

They're not dehydrated and the roots look fine when I pull them. It's happened to a big jim, a chilitepin, an aji charapita, a jimmy nardello, a tiburon, and a shishito.

Fertilizer burn? I put a tablespoon of 10-10-10 around them about 2 weeks ago. Never had a problem with those amounts before and as you can see from the below photo the plants around them are healthy. Haven't sprayed herbicide around them. They get full sunlight until about 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I water once per week.
