Good morning-
I hope that it not poor etiquette to ask a question soon after joining? This is my first year growing habaneros and did quite well I believe as two plants provided well over 100 peppers. There were so many still green and I wanted to try and save the plants so I transplanted them into pots and brought them inside. Many of the peppers have ripened; however, they’re soft and I’ve lack the really firm exterior of their fellow peppers harvested earlier. They’re not mushy and the flavor seems fine but I’m just curious what may be causing this? My uneducated guesses would be that they’ve been on the vine too long or the move shocked them(?). They’re a Bonnie brand from one of the box stores, planted outside in early May, and transplanted last week before the first frost in South Central PA.
Sorry if this has been discussed or I didn’t provide enough information.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
