Nikos:

I can only answer the first of your questions.

Based on my experience, peppers very definitely prefer to be shaded from 
the hot, midday sun.  I discovered this by chance.  Those peppers which, 
for lack of space, I planted in part shade did better.  Much better.

Now, I try to site my peppers so they receive at least a couple hours of 
filtered shade.  Not deep shade, but nicely filtered through the leaves.

I'd love to hear the experience of others with shade/no-shade.

Txs!

Robert.
