[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1151090, member: 20580"] I'll try to get a close-up if I can, reason why I am hesitant to think it is disease is they were perfectly healthy up until the time where we got dumped on with a stretch of heavy rains including a stretch where we probably got about 6+ inches in less than a week and it was right after that they gradually started to get droopy... The furthest away of the 3 pepper plants is the jalapeno plant and it was so saturated there the plant actually leaned over and I had to put it back upright and pack the soil in around the base. The green beans that yellowed a little look a lot like what happens with water logged soybeans when you had standing water after heavy rain. This is from a rain that dumped 1.5" inches in under an hour on 6/30 which was probably the last big rain we've had but the affected plants were already starting to look droopy by then. This pool drained away shortly after the rain stopped but just shows how saturated the ground was when it couldn't handle any more rain. There is a low spot in that area that drains down the fence line where it slopes away but where the tomato and pepper plants are at I have never seen standing water as the grade gets higher towards the corner of the lot. Debating about doing some drainage work this fall to create some slight troughs for rain water to drain off the lot better.
