Hey all,
        The last month has seen my unidentified pepper plants from asia 
producing large, thick wrinkly, green pods with no heat. I have left 
them on the plants to hopefully ripen red and heat up, but have noticed 
black shadings appearing from the tip of the fruit upwards. I thought it 
might be some disease, but all 9 of my plants in different locations are 
producing the same green with shades of black pods.

Does anybody know if this is normal? ....I was once told the chillies 
were 'Lombocs'
