Brown Areas on Green Bell Peppers

Question

My green bell peppers, that are almost to the size to be picked, have developed brown areas on the top surface that cover about 25% of the area. The plant is in a large pot on the east side of the house and receives sun until around 3:00 PM. Is this too much sun, or is it something else?

Answer 1

It sounds like sunscald and it is from too much sun on the fruit. Try providing a little more shade for the plants to prevent this.
