Hi everyone, you have all been very helpful so far. Just posting looking for a little more advice.
Looks like iv got a pest on cayenne pepper plants? Any idea what it is and what could i do about it ?
As for the tomatoes, a couple of them had blossom end rot and I took them off and added some dolomite to the plant but the leaves look almost rotted now ?
Would appreciate any advice.
ps. i have been giving that tomato plant miracle grow and perhaps i have over fertilised ?

the tomato leaves look like they've been either cooked (in full sun near glass window) or got damaged by cold (not normally a problem but my garden has been below 10 degrees overnight recently)
the chili looks like either a flea beetle (not know for attacking chili) or slug/snail damage
dolomite to me is something you add as hard core below pathways, so I can't let you know if that would help.
miracle grow tends to cause healthy growth, what you want is tomerite (or another tomato food) that encourages more and healthy flowering and fruit.
Thanks treehugger, if quite a few tomato plants and i just wanted to try feeding one of them miracle grow, this one. But yes its in a conservatory this plant and it is near glass so perhaps it has just been cooked.
Appreciate the help
