I am living in Sub-Tropical, Coffs Harbour. I would like some helpful advise in growing Capsicums in this Region. I have tried planting in the ground and in pots but have not had any success. Any tips would be great. Di

Hello Di Don't give up you can do it. You don't say at what point things go wrong- but I suggest you start with a small red capsicum (sweet pepper) from a local outlet. The smaller fruited ones ripen quickly and don't get fruit fly for me. The smaller fruited ones are tougher and get going quicker. And this is the exactly time of the year to start. They also produce more abundantly. Cheers Max
