Hi Everyone, I am new to this list... I am glad to have found it.. My name is Todd and I live in Ft. Lauderdale FL. I have always loved hot and spicy food and have not found a chili I cant eat. I think I have burned my taste buds off. :) I now am going to start a pepper garden on my terrace. I have grown other veggies out there and now I am going to try the peppers... I have orderd a few pepper plants that I enjoy and will start with these. I have a question on growing the plants the outside terrace.. My terrace faces west and I get the full afternoon sun and here in Fl it can be quite intense. Should I give the plants the full sun or should I screen them? My tomato plants dont mind the full sun in the winter but the summer they get to hot and dry out fast, I have to water daily and sometimes twice a day. Any help is appreciated.. I look forward to the posts and learning more. Todd
