My first attempt at peppers. I have a couple of bell pepper
plants that are fruiting. I have had two of them that have
developed a tissue thin brown spot on them.

Is this something that just happens, and I've never seen it
before because peppers with spot never make it to Safeway?


Could be a larva living inside the pepper, I've seen where they will
eat the
flesh right up to the skin without breaking through.



Guess it could be. I'm not using any pesticides.


You can just cut away that portion and use the rest.
