My potted bell pepper plants are producing peppers with bad spots. Chili
pepper plants in the same potting mix are producing fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Dee

Dee I can't see your post. All there is is gibberish. Is it yEnc? If so,
it should have stated as such in the subject line.

Too much water? Are the spots touching something that would retain
moisture?

Ah, Pat, use a proper newsreader and you won't have those problems.

I saw the pepper images and thought if it was not too much water
perhaps a virus. I'd sterilize your soil if possible and try for a late
crop if we are talking pots here. Here in SJ the local farmers gave up
on peppers due to a soil pathogen.

Thanks. I also looked up pepper diseases and there were a couple that
looked similar to this, both seed-borne. I got these peppers as
transplants from a local nursery.

I'm having the same soft spot problem, but only a few of the peppers are
affected. There are 4 variaties planted within a few feet of each other
and only some of the Green Bell Peppers ( others on the same plant grow
fine ) are getting the soft spots. We just harvest them before the spots
get bigger and eat the unaffected portion of the pepper. Here in East
Tennessee we are in a drought so I don't think my problem is too much water.

I didn't notice if they were touching leaves when I cut them off. Here is
the photo again as MIME.

Do not assume that everybody buys into that argument. I am quite satisfied
with my reader and do not plan to change soon. And it is true that posters
using yEnc are supposed to include that fact on their subject line. Had I
seen the warning I wouldn't have wasted my time. Posters who wish to reach
the greatest audience should consider that people like me represent a very
large body of viewers and we will never see the posts.

This is not an invitation for you to argue the superiority of your favored
system and point out the fact that luddites like me are hopelessly behind
the times and also that perhaps we don't hate Bill Gates enough.

No need to argue (although you seem set to), but then again, I have no
problems with any posts and you do. Whatever.
