@sahqon @perkinsy These are sweet capsicums not chillies, and a great summer crop in Australia - I am pretty sure your tasted buds would be safe 😄 I love a good green capsicum - I think they are under valued here. They have a wonderful and versatile taste.
Being Australian conditions, I'd vary a little in advice. Melbourne has probably a max of 4 weeks warm'ish weather left before cooler days dominate. So growth will begin to slow soon. I don't know whether Yvonne wants to over-winter the plant - if so, I'd probably pick the capsicum soon'ish and allow the plant to put all energy into strengthening itself. If not, I'd pick it when I need it, to save myself having to buy one.
How is the weather where you are? I am guessing you are in Europe. Do you have sunny days yet?

@LifeTimeCooking @perkinsy We currently have 20C during the day and -1-3 during the night, annoying :D Winter will probably return full force, once everything starts to bloom, as is tradition... at least we found some stuff last year to spray on the fruit trees so the flowers don't fall off. Worked last year, hopefully will work again, because this warm spell every year for at least a decade now always kills off everything.
