Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 01 Aug, Deon (South Africa - Dry summer sub-tropical climate)
hi do capegoose beries require full sun?
Cape Gooseberry (also Golden Berry, Inca Berry ) 01 Oct, May (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
In my experience, they grow fine in full sun, but they bear more fruit if they have a bit of shade. I plant mine in flowerbeds and sheltered behind taller trees/plants, so they get morning sun and then dappled shade for the rest of the day.

Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 16 Jul, Mark Rogers (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
What is the preffered time to sow Habenero seeds
Chilli peppers (also Hot peppers) 01 Oct, May (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Hot chillies need a long growing season, so as early as possible in spring would be good, although soil temperature may be too cool still for them to germinate. So best, I think, is to start them indoors, in seed trays, at the very start of spring, using heating if possible to get them going and then planting outside as soon as they are strong enough and it is warm enough. You can sow seeds later during the growing season also if you have a plan to pull them through winter, because they're perennial and that way you'll have strong plants that can start producing asap when the next growing season starts.
