We have had very wet weather lately in Maryland and my pepper plants have rust spots. The first flowers are just beginning to appear. I have removed all leaves that show signs of rust - the younger leaves seem fine at the moment.. There are some black marks on the stem at the joints. Some nearby tomato plants have some leaf distortion but no rust spots. Should I remove the pepper plants, spray with a fungicide or wait and see what happens?
