Anyone know what would cause this?

10 years ago

I dont have aphids, I have the occasional whitefly on my Cucumbers and Squash but I've yet to find them on my peppers. I actually have yet to see any real pests on my peppers and I'm guessing its because of all the spiders..

Here's a couple pics of my Shishito plant..(I like eating them when they are red) and for whatever reason they aren't ripening properly. Like half the peppers are still green and the other half of the pepper is red and has been that way for a week or more.

Check for small punctures may not even be a hole through the pepper. Stink bugs can cause this they poke around and once a pepper receives damage it usually ripens uneven. I had an apple do the same. Just a throwing out a possibility.

I agree with habjolokia. Damage to the fruit causes uneven ripening. I have gotten maggots/worms in them before too. The damaged section ripens rapidly.
