I would like to get some seeds for litle red sweet round shaped chillies/ capsicums pickling and then stuffing with cheese. Supermarkets have them for about $38.00 a kg. The are red in colour.

My green capsicums have just grown to a big enough size to eat June 2011) however they taste very irony. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

The fruits of my bell capsicum plants are very small I don't know what I'm doing wrong as the fruit on my pointed capsicum grow quite large, they are treated the same. The leaves are dropping off now, should I prune the plants back?I'm south of Adelaide.

My capsicum plant has produced a lot of fruit, however it is always being eaten / turning rotten before I can pick anything. What bugs are attracted to capsicum and how do I get rid of them. Cheers

Caterpillars do the most damage to my capsicums. Either army worms or cut worms. One of the bacterial treatments are best - Success (Yates) or Dipel. Unfortunately if the little suckers get inside the fruit they are pretty hard to control. I have problems with eggplant as well - so this year I am going to get some mosquito netting and put it over the plant.

I grew capsicums for the first time but none have turned red. How long does this take?

think it depends on the temperature - mine turn red over a couple of days, first see a patch of red and next day mostly all red. But still smallish 10cm.... guess that red means ready though
