The one Habanero pepper plant in my garden is shriveling up and looks to be dieing, since the start of all the rain we have been having. Does any one know if this is a case of habanero peppers not liking "wet feet"? My garden has not had a chance to dry out before the next rain storm. The rest of the plants, tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers are doing excellent. I looked under the leaves and don't see any critters or scale. This is my first year growing these kind of pepper.
When I planted the garden, I put a 4-5 inch thick layer of cut grass to use as mulch. It is now down to about 1 inch with all the decomposition so I was thinking when I can mow again to add another layer to it.
