did the hail beat on your plants? if so that could be the reason for the splits and holes. if that is what caused it i think they should come back and be ok.
splits on pepper plants and brown leaves
Hi!
I planted herbs and vegetables in the last two weeks. Our area had a bad thunderstorm with hail. I have noticed since then all of my pepper plants and a few of my herbs including cilantro have either splints in the leaves or brown around the edges. In addition, a few leaves on the pepper plants have holes with the leave part not gone (almost like a hole was punched in them)... I don't know what to do! The peppers look healthy and stems. I'm not sure if this is from too much rain, not enough sun, the use of Osmocote plant food, or a pest of some sort. The plants are all in pots with holes to drain and are located on a high deck. They receive sun (when there is sun most of the day). Any suggestions??? PLEASE HELP! I have 39 pots and want them to survive.
Thanks!!

Yes. There was nothing I could have done to shield them. Since I've posted it has rained everyday and heavy with wind. I really hope they will do ok.
