Title: failing sweet pepper plants???
Post by: mpdjulie on June 04, 2008, 13:57:21
i have 2 sweet pepper plants, both about 1ft tall with plenty of buds on each.  one of the buds flowered 4 days ago and when i checked on it a little while ago the flower petal has changed from a nice off white colour to being wilted and tinged with a tan/brown colour.  is this normal?

Yes, you may not have noticed tomatoes do the same. Hopefully, over the next week or so you'll notice the tiniest of peppers in their place.
