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?


Sunburn. To protect peppers from sunburn, pinch plants to encourage leaf
growth.

learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and
find out for themselves.
