I believe it has more to do with the species and variety you plant than
with the weather... My Mexican friends took great care in selecting seed,
didn't worry much about weather.  Planted in full sun on south exposure
though.

BTW, isn't Tobasco a trademarked name of a brand of hot sauce without
any connection to a particular variety of peppers???
