My banana peppers did the same thing last year. I think it was from sunscald. ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
They were healthy plants, just as you say..and the peppers were fine to eat. This happened to only the first few on each plant..after that, they all ripened normally. I wouldn't worry about it one bit. I've heard others say that sometimes their jalapenos do this too.

My jalapenos had black spots like that, but now that I think of it, I picked some yesterday and didnt see it anymore......perhaps it can go away??

Thanks Christina. I thought I had done something wrong(again). lol
This is my first garden in many, many years and I sure had made alot of mistakes but I'm already planning for next year.

Steaking in Jalapenos is normal in juveniles- usally its purplish black. Most of mine have done this- but it does away as the pepper matures.

I have also noticed the upper stems on the pepper plants are black too. The plants are large and healthy. What is wrong?
