HI Sacha and Nicole, Sounds like you may have fruit fly getting your capsicums. I had the same, but now I cover each little fruit with a piece of cloth (cut up an old shirt) and it seems to stop the fruit fly impregnating the fruit. Now that the weather is cooling they take a very loooong time to go red, so we usually eat them green. In summer we did get lovely red ones.
