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??? -- The early bird catches the worm, but the early worm gets eaten.
