Karen:
Red Savs. and Habs like filtered shade during the hottest part of the
day. A couple solutions:
1. Put up some old sheets w/ holes in them. Support them over your
plants w/ sticks.
2. Plant some fast growing annuals around your peppers; I use Amaranth
(but sometimes regret it because it self sows pretty effectively).
3. Plant your peppers so the the leaves interweave, thus shading the
soil and creating a friendly microclimate (this is based on the work of
John Jeavons - bioIntensive). Plant your Habs and Red Savs. in the
inside, so they get shaded somewhat by the taller plants.
Let us know how you work this out!
