Everything was going so well.  Really pleased as I've got a new greenhouse and the peppers were growing great.  Now I notice that there is a hole in my largest pepper, up by the stalk.  Any idea what's causing it ?  Should i spray the plants? and should I remove the pepper?  Can't see anything obvious on it.  ???

there are lots of holes in my peppers. Can only be slugs surely, but how they do it I don't know. Think they must abseil down like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible

I got tiny holes in some of mine last year - in a conservatory so defo not slugs.  There was a fine woooly cottony film around too and we had a lot of tiny yellow and balack spiders which I think had hatched from eggs somewhere on the plant!  Had to harvest it all and have a major clear out!  I'd pick it and slice in half if I were you - check there's nothing in there!  If not some of it may be useable...
Leave only footprints, take only photographs ....
