I have lost a few capsicums this year, a spot develops on the upper side of the fruit just before it is ripe. possibly similar to the other comments regarding a soft spot. if left, this develops into a hole, and the fruit rots around the hole. the rest of the fruit seems ok though, and there do not appear to be any maggots or grubs. Any ideas?
