In my experience outdoors, I like to put plants in a place where they get the most possible morning sun so the dew evaporates immediately. This is actually pretty important for plants like roses that are prone to fungal infections.

With peppers, the more strong sunlight they get, the more they realize their hotness potential!

Latewood correct me if I am wrong but isn't 6 hours per day of direct sun a reasonable minimum for veggie success?
