AboutElyse Grau Expertise I can answer most questions on vegetable and fruit growing, in particular those that pertain to the Northwest, Midwest and other cool areas of the country. I prefer to use only organic/natural methods and materials.
Experience I have Master Gardener training and have been gardening for over 25 years. I use organic and natural methods only. I live on 5 acres and have a large vegetable garden, as well as orchard, grapevines and berries.
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.
