First off someone gave me this plant and I have no idea what type of pepper it is. But the stems have black on them and its now spreading to the pepper. Here is a picture of one after I have cut it off and cleaned it.

A lot of my peppers will do this, especially "green" peppers like green bells and jalepenos. They're totally fine, I usually just take it as a sign that they're ready to be picked and used. I'm not sure what causes the blackness though.. does any one know? It seems like I had more black on my peppers last season that this current season.

My peppers did this all season,even during the 100+ degree weather.They seemed to be very hot as well.My peppers are still blooming,although I expect that to end in a week when first hard frost hits.I am thinking I might pot one up and bring it inside.I have done this before with great success.Greener
