I agree that Goliath is a great one for jalepenos, I am growing it this year to compare to a past favorite much nacho. I had the same problem with my peppers last year, sweet and hot, never happened before in 20 plus years of gardening, as soon as they started to color they would get black, almost like BER on tomatoes. Don't know what it was, they plants and fruit looked fantastic right up until they started to color, lost tons of fruit last year to whatever it was and definitely don't want that to happen again this year. I did have ripe fruit early in the season, June through beginning of July, it was the main crop of July through Sept that was the issue.
