    I'm cross-posting (this is on the Pepper forum) so my apologies in advance...

    I'm at my wits end here. Can anyone identify this disease?? It is stunting all of my bell pepper plants and they never produce much of anything as a result. The leaves wrinkle and look like spinach leaves and the fruit never gets larger than 3" or so. I had three plants that were very healthy and maybe 10" tall when I bought them from the local farmer's market about three weeks ago. Everything was going well for about a week or two then the wheels feel off and they got this bad condition.

    What do you think? Is this mosaic virus? Should I be spraying my next plants right away in case this happens again?? Thanks everyone. This is terrible.
