I'm growing peppers,1st time. They seem ok, but are they supposed to be black at stem/branch jnt?

Question

They are in a greenhouse, not hot peppers and are producing flowers(which i have only just pollinated) 1 flower just died and came away from stem, when i touched it gently?

The black area looks shiny and healthy and is at almost all the joints on both plants. 2 diff. varieties?

Please don,t be condescending (espesh Dels. ) I'm new at this greenhouse lark!!!!!

Answer 1

If you lose the blossoms, you lose your pepper harvest!  Be gentle with them.  :D  I don't have my pepper plants in a greenhouse.  Most of mine are in the garden, but I have a few on the deck in pots, too.  I don't know if the black area around the stem/branch is ok, but mine are that way, too, and they are producing like crazy.  Guess it's not hurting them too badly.  Good luck with your peppers!!
