    Location means everything for peppers doesn't it?

    What do you mean? Why would we complain about 95-105 degree temps w/ 85-95% humidity? Why would we complain about getting covered in sweat walking from the back door to the garden 15-20 ft away?why would we complain about having to water twice a day if it doesn't rain, or worry about shading...
