g'day potaroo,

could it be fruit fly?

have you opened up 1 of the affected fruit to see if there is f/f
larva in there?

 Thanks Len, will check this out.  Jonno, you might have something there too;
they are planted on flat ground, very healthy but drainage might be a
probem.
Cheers, Pete

A fix would be to create a raised bed for them, unless as Len wrote its
fruit fly.
But the peppers may be a bit hot for them.

Look for some fruit flies with thick, dark, drooping moustaches, and an
outrageous Mexican accent.

The sound of Mariachi music will also act as a guide.
