Hi all, back after a long break...

Do peppers need stong light to do well, or just high heat? My greenhouse is
near to a fence so the ground on one side doesn't get much direct sunlight
but it does get very warm. If peppers won't do well, any suggestions as to
what might grow well in these conditions?

Thanks,

My greenhouse is on a north facing slope with trees on the south side
and I grow peppers quite successfully. The greenhouse doesn't get much
direct light until summer when it gets a lot of light in the
afternoon. So unless you have a fence on all sides it should be
possible.

Thanks JB, that's what I was hoping to hear. The greenhouse has a fence on
the south side ( not great planning I know ) but in summer the sun gets to
most of the floor so I'm hoping they'll do OK. If I ever feel particularly
energetic I'll swap it with the shed which is much sunnier but that's a job
I'd prefer to avoid.
