Certified ExpertA.They look completely normal, to me. For the future, though, it is best not to help them with the seed coating.

April 9, 2021Q.ALL My Jalapenos Leaves Fell Off. Can It Survive?
I live in a apartment and been growing a jalapeno plant. recently I noticed little black ants (?) on my plant. i read online that you can spray a little bit of dawn dish soap mixed with water to get rid of them. after doing this all of my leaves fell off. is there any way my plant can recover?

Certified ExpertA.Since you had ants it's possible the plant also had aphids. Your mixture may have been heavy on the dishwashing liquid. I would rinse them with more water, and hopefully, you will get some new growth.

May 21, 2021Q.Do I Need To Pull My Plants If I Have Too Many?
I started my vegetables from seeds. I have jalapeños and bell peppers that have like 4 plants to one area. Do I need to pull them. How many plants am I allowed in an area?

Certified ExpertA.When you grow seeds, it's always advisable to thin them out after several come up in almost the same space. Select the strongest and healthiest looking and cut out the others. (Sometimes pulling them can upend those nearby.)
Space them according to the seed packet instructions. It should tell you how tall and wide they will grow. Use that information to gauge how far apart your veggies should be. They need sun and plenty of air circulation so you don't want to crowd them.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.
A few nights of those temperatures will kill your peppers. If you cannot move them inside, you can try to cover them in burlap at night to protect them.Here are some articles that will help:

Certified ExpertA.We do not recommend places to purchase. I would check your local garden centers. They may know of a source. Alternatively, you might email an online nursery and inquire about where to purchase.
