Disappointing to pick them only to have you fingers go through.
Any ideas what is wrong.
Cheers,


I would say after reading this "overwatering" But there are other reasons.
CAYENNE (Capsicum annum)
Annual (Perennial in warmer climates) growing to around 30-40cm tall. Bright green foliage with off-white flowers.

Growing Conditions:
Prefers warm, frost free position, in full to partial shade.

Cultu
Well-drained, moderately rich soil is most suitable. Plants may need staking

Companion Planting:
Grows well with most vegetables. Marigolds and chives nearby may be of some benefit to cayenne.

Propagation:
Seed sown under cover, then seedlings planted out into beds.

Pests & Diseases:
Over-watering can lead to general fungal problems and rotting of the peppers.
Insect damage is rarely a major problem, but can occur.

Uses:
Medicinal and culinary. Variety of pepper that can really 'heat' up a wide variety of dishes. One of the components of cayenne can raise the rate of human metabolism if used regularly. This can result in a greater burn up of calories/joules, aiding in weight loss.
