My jalapeno peppers have done very well under the lights indoors. After planting them out, I have noticed white squiggly lines on the leaves. After a little bit of searching online I believe leaf miners are the culprit. I don’t want to use pesticides on my garden so I have been removing the affected leaves and “disposing” of the leaf. This has been working well. It is best to remove the leaf or the affected part of the leaf before they have a chance to do a lot of damage and spread.
