Does anyone have any idea what would bite off all the stems of a jalapeno plant? Whatever it was apparently didn't like it, as the stems are just laying all around where the plant was.
Also, is anyone using any organic fertilizers? We enlarged our garden this year, so part of it is brand new to growing veggies -- the plants in this area seem a little too pale compared to the rest of the plants.
Thanks!

we use seaweed (liquid seaweed is bangin' for plants of all kind!) you can get organic fertilizer at oakland nursery. otherwise just enrich it "mulch it" with compost perhaps
rabbits maybe?
you might try putting some cheap pinwheels or windsocks or flags in your garden; sometimes these work to scare away furry garden predators.
haven't used it, but Miracle Grow is now making an organiz fertilizer.
here's two of many guides on the web that help diagnose, then organically treat garden problmes:

compost & manure were what we used most on the farm, but we tried to prepare the soil before planting with those.
Mulch
Sand
Bone Meal
Compost
Manure
Only use the last two if you have done some reading on when they are cooked and ready.
I personally wouldn't trust anything that Miracle Grow or other Agricorp puts out and slaps a handy dandy "organic" label on. Just my 2 cents, no offense.
Could have been anything that tried your jalepeno. Most likely they won't try many others. Those things are HOT!
thanks for the ideas. yep, no other plants have been touched yet. I'll look for liquid seaweed (and I feel the same way about miracle gro....and clorox, too, with their "green cleaners". I could be wrong, however). i've been looking for pinwheels and will keep looking, but have come up empty handed so far. I may have to break down and go to walmart...
saw some pinwheels at Target in the dollar section, and some small wind "socks" at Hobby Lobby
