HI all. I have 5 Burpee organic California Wonder bell pepper plants that i started from seed this year. They are really starting to produce now. The problem? These peppers sure dont look like bell peppers. They dont even smell like bell peppers. They actually smell like hot peppers. I do have a couple of cayenne and jalapeno plants, but they are on the other side of the yard. Can anyone help me to identify what type of peppers these appear to be, and what the weird spots are on them? It seems kind of like some kind of rot. The spots are mostly soft, and only appeared on the earliest starting fruits. The new ones coming in are nice and clean, whatever they are. Thanks for any help!
