Thank you Carolyn. I Googled as I always do first. So many
infections look similar during all stages.

I've been pretty lucky as well, if the one in five years I actually
get a pepper to fruit before frost. I did not spray at all this year.
Just a DE dusting for slugs early spring. Not even baking soda on
the summer squash as no powdery mildew at all appeared.
Usually do an early preventative as I alway get PM late August.

The babyAji has been so great all season. Very early, though
light frost tender.

It is October 20th. Everything gets a bit ratty with cooler nights/rainy
overcast days. That's 4 season living.

Probably the light frost caused stress and it excelerated
whatever it is?
A pic from October 1st shows two or three tiny spots on a
very healthy big green plant.

*Cercospora Leaf Spot (Frog Eye) is caused by the fungi Cercospora capsici

*Bacterial Leaf Spot is caused by theseed borne bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv vesicatoria which also causes bacterial spot in tomatoes and is one of the most serious bacterial disease affecting chiles. The principle sources are infected seed and transplants. Moist conditions encourage disease development.

^one of those I suspect. No fruit affected.
And actually the Mareko and the HuliosPasia(sp) are pristine. It
is two sweet reds showing some signs.
