During Summer my pepper plants got massacred by thrips. Neem oil saved the day but it took a while to beat the thrips back.
Of 10 healthy plants I only managed to safe 3 and they were just clinging to life lookinh more like sticks that plants because most their leaves were off. I nursed them back to health and they just now started to get peppers but the peppers look weird. Or is this normal?
Looks like part of the flower is still there.

Honestly, I don't know. My wife bought some vegetables at a farm market and she picked up some peppers for me. They were about 8" long. red and about as thick as my thumb at the top. The pepper was not very hot (for me) but had a sweet fruity aftertone that I really liked so I saved one for it's seeds. Could have been a hybrid for all I know so it's a mystery pepper. I'm hoping the peppers will still have that fruity flavor and some of the heat.
