Michael / Chgowiz 🎲🎲My bell peppers are starting to develop this weird yellowing on the leaves. I'm going to call my Extension Master Gardener tomorrow and see what's going on. They should go into the ground next week.

Might be too much water / not enough soil. Is there a reason not to put them in the ground sooner? They seem plenty large to me and might be after more nitrogen than they're getting.

@TheGreatLlama The soil temp up here is still in the 50s. If I'm reading the seed packet right, they recommend planting at a soil temp of 70.
I've given them a water-based nitrogen feed.
@chgowiz
Yeah, that's a little cool yet, though I'm not afraid to plant once it's in the 60s.
I'm just guessing at it, but over-watering is the most common explanation for yellow pepper leaves.
@TheGreatLlama Hm, something to think about.
EvilJeff@EvilJeff Hm. It's a weird yellowing pattern for overwatering from what I'm used to, but it's possible for sure.
@chgowiz Have you over watered peppers before? I know that hot peppers will show a similar sort of yellowing from too much water. Not quite the same but feels reasonable.
@EvilJeff These are my first bell peppers. I've overwatered plenty of other plants! ðŸ˜ðŸ¤£ðŸ˜ I'm used to the whole leaf going yellow, or several leaves, but this just looked very different.
