@perkinsy @aeduna @weezmgk Yes, tags are good. I use #GardeningAU and # GardeningAdelaide. Even within Adelaide, where I am, there are definite zones too 😆 I am in a drier area than many other suburbs. In good sun, it takes about 5-6 weeks from flower to good sized fruit, and 2 or 3 more weeks after that to turn red. Lack of sun will prolong the ripening time. You might just squeeze in more fruit before it is too cold/lack of sun to mature well. I suspect the plant won't last over winter, especially as it won't get much sun, but you can try. Put it in the warmest spot, or maybe bring it inside if you have a bright sunny room. I've had presumably dead sticks in the garden come back to life with good watering and feeding the next season. But even for a miniature variety it seems quite a small plant ie not bushy, so 🤷‍♀️ . It might struggle even inside. I was surprised by 2 people commenting on the heat of red capsicums. Sweet capsicums are so common here (sweet bell peppers) that we (I) forget there are other varieties. Occasionally I can find some elongated varieties in the shops, some of them labelled "sweet" and some labelled "hot". To me they are mildly hot but I have good heat tolerance compared to some others.
