5. you have a few things going on but early in the morning take a flashlight to the garden

i'll bet you find a coupla big ol' tomato hornworms munching those leaves.

caterpillers of a spectacular moth, the hawk moth, I hate to kill the hornworms, but they are quite voracious.

i'd normally recommend BT, an organic toxin for caterpillers, but since you've got those leaf miners may as well go to sevin dust.

the rest might be fungus that will clear up with a little less water for a few days.

I hope the peppers turn out ok. I did not grow bells this year as my ol' lady has been using anahimes or poblamos for nearly everthing lately.

white trails might be leaf miners. The ant damage is usually cosmetic, the miners can weaken your plant.
