Peppers Not Ripening

9 years ago

Hi guys...

So I've had this pepper plant since middle August and it fruited in late October. And my peppers haven't ripened in almost a month!! Is this normal? This is my first time growing peppers and I don't know what variety this is so i wanted to wait till it ripened to see it's color. I bought the seeds online thinking I was going to get Peter Peppers (what i ordered) but they germinated into this. Can anybody tell me what variety it could be, how long to wait to ripen and if this is normal? Thanks.

where are you .... whats the weather been ... etc ... most of us are moving into winter.. and things start slowing down ... when the days get shorter.. and cooler.. if not downright cold ...

there used to be a very active pepper forum ... for the real experts ...

I'm in Ghana. Temperatures are as high as 35 degrees Celcius and only as low as 22. I'm tropical.

And No I'm not. That's just dirt from rain water; can be washed off.

Try the Vegetable Forum, too. Ken is referring to the Hot Pepper forum, found under H in the alphabetical index.
