This is my first season growing peppers and my 2nd growing tomatoes. basically what i'm saying is im a newbe. i have a giant marconi plant in a 12 gallon pot. plant is growing nicely and loaded with peppers. i have noticed recently a couple peppers have fallen off. upon further inspection there is a hole usually low on the pepper away from the stem. the inside of the pepper is kinda rotted but it looks like poop maybe and maybe eggs.

i cant find any bugs, slugs, caterpillars or anything else in the pepper or on or around the plant. any idea whats going on?
