I've got a small garden going again this year. Tomatoes, banana & jalepeno peppers, squash, corn, cucumbers, okra, and watermelons. The only thing last year to flourish were the okra and peppers. This year, everything is taking off like wildfire except the okra and peppers. The deer have eaten the tops of the okra early on and they are mounting a comeback...after I started another 20 seedlings. The peppers are doing well as a plant, but all the peppers have some rot on them.

Question is, what can I do about this pepper rot? The tomatoes started to, but I cut that out with a dose of calcium. Can the same be done for the peppers? I fertilized the entire garden in the beginning with a good combo for my soil test and it's holding true, aside from the peppers.
