they are just a couple of brown spots just on the top of the peel(skin), when i cut the pepper open there is no marks on the inside. is it from watering, insect, skin brused.

Hi Mark,

Could be sunburn - peppers can get that. It could be bacterial in nature though. It could be blossom-end rot, but that would be on the blossom-side, so I don't think it is likely that.

please look at the new attachment. perhaps that would help identify the spots. thanks

Bacterial Fungus maybe. A sun scald develops in some cases.
