Help.. Spots on leaves and pepper plant dying?
Comments (1)That is powdery mildew on your squash plants. If the soil is bone dry while the pepper plant is wilting yes it is under-watering. But the same wilting affect can be the result of other problems including over-watering....See MoreUGH! Pepper plants keep dying!
Comments (4)chile plants are very resilient. It could be the overwatering and it definitly could be overfertilizing, however, if you can fix the problem they will probably grow new growth.

Comments (7)Tomatoes LOVE to grow in the same place every year. If you add new composted soil and ammendments, they will be just fine.

Some plants are heavy feeders, like lettuce, and some do best grown in soil where heavy feeders were planted the year before, without any added nutrients, like carrots. Carrots LOVE Tomatoes. Others benefit from the shade they make, like lettuce & spinache. Dill, garlic, beets and bush beans do well near tomatoes, and planted near Asparagus, both tomato and asparagus benefit. You definitely cannot move asparagus every year or you wouldn't have much of a crop. So, just keep building your soil so that it is healthy, and . . .Ammend! Ammend!
