Hi Myron

How close to the ocean are you? I am 200 yards back with nothing but a
wildlife (Ducks not Lions) reserve between.

I grow my chiles at the back of the house which give some protection
from the salty sea breeze. 

You may need to give a bit of protection from the wind and sun.
A little shade may help stop the plants cooking in salt water:-)
No scientific reason just a feeling that my Jalepenos get "sunburned"
from time to time.

Have a go. Good luck
