I may be jumping the gun a bit here but it looks like the shaded peppers are outperforming the ones in the open sun now. The hotter weather and more intense sunlight this time of the summer is starting to affect the bed that is in the open. The plants are not growing as well or putting on as many new peppers as the bed that is shaded. In another month I will know for sure; but the way it looks I will be shading all my bells next year.
