I've enjoyed browsing this forum for several weeks and finally signed up.  I grew about 30 C.annums for pickling (lactofermentation) several years ago and they did ok.  The ones grown close together did best, seeming to prefer the shade they provided one another.
 
I now have my own place and am growing about 75 peppers, including about 20 C. chinense*.  Kind of worried about growing them in my climate, but willl experiment placing them where they'll get some shade in the afternoon, and I have several self-watering containers that I can move around.  May also plant companion plants to help shade them (okra!).
 
Anyway, glad to be aboard.

:welcome:  to the THP forums from SC!! Heat and lack of shade are the two main problems I face where I have the only option to grow- have to try/experiment to see what may work best (always learning from previous failures). Best of luck with your grow..may your harvest be bountiful!
