I've tried several times in the past years to grow peppers, Last year I grew them in pots because they seemed to get scorched in my garden full sun.

They always get full of holes before I can pick them, and i'm talking holes that are over an inch around. something eats at them, but I've never seen what it is.

I did well in large pots last year but had to watch for something eating the holes in them.

I'd like to grow them in the ground with the other vegetables.

I'm planning on starting seeds as soon as they come in for some red, yellow, orange and purple peppers.

Would love your growing advice.
