Green and red peppers rotting off the vine.?

Question

We planted green and red peppers , but before they are ready to pick they are rotting on the vine. I picked one today and cut it open and there is this brown mold inside? Any ideas on why? We haven't had one good pepper yet.

Answer 1

Depending on where you are, this has been a bad year for blight. There has been lots of rain, and many plants, especially the nightshades have been hard hit. These include tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and others.

Answer 2

Could be watering them too much.

Answer 3

Sounds like blight. Are there whiteish areas on the outside?  We are having huge tomato blight problems this year.  Go to your nearest garden store and get a fungicide to take care of it.
