What is causing this to happen, no bugs inside, happens every year, not to all the peppers just some. Thanks Tom

Re: I need help growing my Bell Peppers
I've seen that on mine
Didn't plant any this year though...
I think it's a worm
Have you tried putting sevin dust on them ?

Re: I need help growing my Bell Peppers
Tom: Next time you go hunting peppers, I suggest a .22 , as you can see, the .308's leave too big a hole :)
But seriously folks.....I think Slick4x4 may be on to something with the worms?
I guess I was fortunate, the one year when I planted peppers, they all came out really well, even the little ones that were so hot they made my lips glow:)

Calcium deficiency...aka end blossom rot.
Take some egg shells and crush them up and mix it into the soil around your peppers.

Re: I need help growing my Bell Peppers
I have what appears to be the same on my tomatoes, I put it down to the heat we are having this summer, my okra is only 4" tall right now, should be near 4 foot tall!!!

Re: I need help growing my Bell Peppers
It's caused by to high of nitrogen levels in your soil which happens naturally over the years especially if you grow in the same spot. Next spring I recommend adding lime to the top 12 inches of soil and you should be good for a few more seasons. I use crushed egg shells for my tomatoes and peppers and it seems to work

Re: I need help growing my Bell Peppers
I do the same thing. The wife thought I was crazy but has seem to have solved the issue with the tomatoes. Never had that with the peppers but figured it couldn't hurt.RustNdust65 wrote:It's caused by to high of nitrogen levels in your soil which happens naturally over the years especially if you grow in the same spot.

If restoring a ford was easy, chevy guys could do it.

Re: I need help growing my Bell Peppers
I put plenty of lime in the fall and spring, the pelletized type, this year I moved the area for the peppers to a new spot that never had them before and 2 nights ago the deer trimed 4 tomato plants for me, we don't eat enough eggs so I'll try adding some calcium next year. Thanks. Tom
