in my container garden in WI I have a bell peeper plant. it has many little growing green peppers and one big one starting to turn red. most of them including the big one have these soft brown spots in them. some big, some small. What are they? and how do I prevent them? are they safe to eat (the parts of the pepper that are not browning)?

they look like the one on the far right and the one under it in the picture http://www.house-of-roses.org/pictures/blog/2008/gardening/20080803pepper/pepperRot.png
 
I would not be afraid to eat the pepper after cutting away the brow spots. Whatever is causing them to turn brown I don't know though.
