bell peppers shriveling


Question
I have three nice and healthy bell pepper plants-Yellow,orange,&red.The yellow&orange peppers have nice size & the red ones have not matured.Only problem is that the peppers are shrived looking-like they have been in the refridge to long.Thanks for any help or advice.

Answer
Rick:
Hmm. Sometimes it's hard to tell from a brief description. They could be dry, perhaps they are past maturity? If it is mostly on the bottom it could be blossom end rot. If they are mis-shapen it could be a weevil.

Once they turn yellow, red or orange, they are ripe and ready to pick. Maybe they have just been on the vine too long.
