Are we supposed to be seeing these brown spots in your (identical) pictures? My recollection is that this plant produces many colors of peppers, and some of the yellow ones can have brownish or purplish tinges on them.

First, I think you got a mis-labeled plant. That is a bell pepper of some kind and Pretty n' Sweet isn't a bell but a horn pepper and ripens to red and yellow, not the darker colors.

Second, depending on the variety it really is that could be quite normal - the coloration I mean - as most bell varieties will change color as the ripen and it looks like you may have one of the several purple skinned varieties. Assuming you bought this plant it likely had a tag switch on it.

Third, you are way over-watering. Daily watering of most any garden vegetable plant is seldom required but especially not with peppers. They prefer to dry out some between watering and over-watering causes them to shed leaves as your has.

Fourth, most pepper plants require some sort of support - a 3 ring tomato cage is commonly used for peppers or even a short stake. Your plant is especiallyspinly with long internode lengths. That is usually and indication of insufficient sun exposure or over-crowding. Either way, yes it will need some type of support or it will break.

That's why I was wondering if the darker colored pepper in the picture was the "brown spot" we were supposed to be considering. But yes, those are the wrong shape.

I'm not sure why the picture posted twice. I had another picture which was better, and of course was deleted. I had wondered why they appeared as "bell" peppers as well. Thanks for the advice, especially the over watering. Yes, tomato cages are on the way!

Wondering if the "brown spot" is the beginning of sunscald. Leaves are rather sparse. And a bit yellowy. Definitely need to back off on the water and the plant may green up but they also may need a small dose of fertilizer.
