It's been a week of hot and humid weather here in northern Virginia followed by a day of HEAVY thunderstorms. Should I salvage this by harvesting my orange bell pepper early?
The initial scarring is caused by UV damage and left it vulnerable to rot which is exacerbated by the humidity.

Could be the sun, could be a bug bite sorta thing. I’ve been using [these mesh bags](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W8SM5MW/) for two years now and bag every pepper and tomato because every single one used to get a spot or two like that. They all come out perfect now. The 6″x10″ are great for individual fruits and the 10″x14″ are great for clusters and the larger tomatoes.
