Well if it's not one thing it's another.... my jalapeņos were looking so good. They really went through a growth spurt and were producing like crazy. Then, the little stem that connects them to the plant turned yellow and now they're falling off. Any ideas?

Maybe over watering or aphids. Look under the leaves to see if you see teeny tiny little black or semi-clear/greenish looking things. If you see them, you can spray with some soap water (I use Murphy Oil Soap with a drop or 2 of ammonia and water) to get rid of them.

I don't think it's over watering, so I will check for bugs. Thank you!
