Diseased cayenne pepper plants.

I am leaving for a 2 day camping trip Saturday, and would like to do something to treat this disease before I go.
Thanks for looking

. They are drowning. In the first picture even the earthworms are drowning. They also have developed a fungus and it looks so advanced I doubt it can be saved. You might try a copper based fungicide

Thanks. I've barely watered them since I planted them 3 weeks ago. But we've had tons of rain.

At least one plant definitely looks too far gone to even try anything on. Should I remove it and cut the affected leaves off the other ones.

My peppers were complete failures this last couple of years because it was so cloudy and wet. I wouldn't water at all. Remove the dead leaves, go and enjoy the holiday weekend, and pray for dry sunny days.

Thanks Beth. We've just been having so much rain here. Got another downpour today. My watering has been on hold for a while now because mother nature has been providing more than is needed. I'll just have to do the best I can with I've got.
