Brad;
You might be pleasantly surprized to find how well chiles do in the
shade of your trees. Some of my best chile plants grow between my barn
and an old Elm tree, shaded except for about 4 hours a day. I do have
to keep them watered and add stall cleanings spring and fall though, as
the tree seems to strip the soil of nutrients and moisture.
Trees, deer and rabbits beat pavement any day....
