Robert-
	I have my best luck with chiles in the partial shade of mesquite trees,
especially the Tepins and Ajis.  In Abilene it gets too hot for some
plants in the summer.  I also grow some in a greenhouse (which was
destroyed last weekend).  I have one variety from Hawaii that likes less
light and cooler temperatures.
