Absolutely NO soapy water - it will actually make the poison worse by taking away the protective coating of the leaves.

No no no, at best I am Sancho Panza the simple farmer side kick, but without the witty remarks. Or the farm!

I did get some leaf curl, not a huge amount. Most the new growth looks reasonably good. I think all it did was chase their gophers over to my side, because I lost a pepper today.

Still have my fingers and toes crossed that it mostly wont have harmed my side of the fence. Really concerned about my tree frogs living in my tomato patch. They are terribly sensitive to any kind of environmental toxins. They are my "canary in a coal mine" to let me know the environment is thriving and healthy, and eat bugs too! Which reminds me. I got to download that pic and post it on my project as proof of Principle 9: Sustainable ie. beneficial to the ecology and wildlife

Reasonably good, I am praying it doesn't affect my fruit set because I have a TON of flowers on some determinates right by there. Thanks for asking.
