Was this wrong? Will my plants produce anymore?

Are they out somewhere where they get loads of sunshine? Try getting them some shade during the midday hours or you can try pruning the plants to encourage more branches, and therefore, leaves that can provide more shade to the fruit. I had a lot of problems with this with golden wonders that I grew this year. Myriam, your peppers might be getting sunburned. Are they out somewhere where they get loads of sunshine?

They were doing well until I noticed these spots, first on one pepper, then I started seeing the same spots on the others, any ideas? Too much water? They are planted in a large pot container.

See item 9 above under the How To Plant heading..... sounds like too much nitrogen “I need a tip, my folage is beautiful, but I have very few flowers and no fruit.”

This year I have beautiful healthy plants with very few flowers and fruit. One website suggested they might have been overfertilized. Any thoughts? I have the same problem.
