Just done my one of my daily inspections of the greenhouse, and have found 3 of my peppers that look great on the side I can see, but the backs of them are all soft and funny coloured, just threw them on the compost in disgust...........should have taken a piccie! Any ideas anyone? DP
It's a b, isn't it?
Very common - probably grey mould. Pick all bad bits off & keep well ventilated. Even thin out lower foliage. Last resort, Carbendazim. = Tim
Thank you Tim, will have to go down and inspect the rest! Wondered if it was a ventilation prob.

Oh Yuck! What a shame!! Going to go pick some leaves off my peppers now - already done the toms and fruits are begining to orange up. How many peppers does that leave you with DP??
Still got loads EJ, but they are tiny! :'( Heres hoping I get some to edible size! :D
If something starts to ripen before you think it should - DOUBLE check it - it's usually on its way out!!
And ventilation is not a panacea. = Tim
Is grey mould anything like mildew? If it is, spraying with a 10% milk/water solution may help. It does work on cucumbers and related plants such as courgette.
Much more vicious - but I must remember the milk thing for mildew. I'm doing bicarb at present. = Tim
