Is it to late to grow capsicum

I live in Christchurch. I had planted my capsicum in Oct 2017 they are still growing. I had put 6 plants in & they are so full that I've had to tie the plants up as very heavy & falling over. I think it depends where u live in NZ on how they grow

You might be lucky, capsicum like heat and our summer seems to be very slow starting. It is worth a try.
