This Week In the Garden
 Black Spot on Peppers

This week in the garden, UT Extension Agent, Chris Cooper looks at a pepper that has a black sunken spot. It is pepper anthracnose which is a fungal disease. The pepper is not ruined but you will need to harvest it earlier than usual. You can control pepper anthracnose by mulching, planting resistant varieties or using a copper based fungicide.
