We get about 65 inches of rain per annum, probably not as much as you but
peppers grow well here. When you ask for the secret in growing them what is
the exact problem? They just won't grow, they don't get hot, what? To get
some heat in hot peppers they need to get less water and more sun. You can
stress them and get them hotter in flavor by withholding water and food
after fruit set. Take a look at the chile-heads page on the web for more info.
