Was out in my habanero field today,. had a few orange habs so I was checking
them out. Orange Habs in my opinion are beautiful when they are at that
ripened stage and brilliant orange :-) But anyway enough of that
rambling...hehehe
I picked about a dozen peppers, all of them looked normal from the outside,
very nice and firm, good color, no spots. But every one I opened had the
seeds turning black and a couple has what looked to be mold growing on the
INSIDE. Like I said , the outside of the fruits looked normal and you
couldn't tell just by looking, but every one of them had black seeds and
looked like it was rotting from the inside.
I looked through Dave DeWitts" The Pepper Gardener" but did see anything
specific,
What is causing this and how is it prevented. We have aprox 150 plants in
this particular field and the samples all came from different plants with
the same results.:(
Thanks in advance
