Diane, you will be able grow capsicums if you start them early under cover so that they have a long growing time.

do capsicum plants grow well in big pots? Because I have just planted some seedlings in a big pot, and I am wondering if they will still produce fruit.

You can grow Capsicum in pots quite successfully, keep the soil moist not too wet and feed with nitrogenous fertilizer when fruit are starting to set Tom in Hawkes Bay

Can I use the seeds out of commercially grown capsicums to start with? If so, how do I start? do I have to dry them first. Terry.

Lucy, If you are growing capsicum in pots then probably not enough room for courgettes as well. I put courgette in its own big pot - courgette likes air circulating around it to keep down the powdery mildew (a big problem here in our wet summer).

What is best to spray my capsicum with. There is something attacking the leaves?
