Peppers like relatively fertile soil in my experience. Really, it seems like they like a lot of everything... nutrients, sun, and water.

My jalapeños, bell peppers, and tomatoes didn't do well in full afternoon sun last year. Only when I moved them to afternoon shade did they take off. The banana peppers went crazy, though.

Yeah, this is definitely true of established plants. I actually went back and looked at my notes from when I grew them. I had a hard time getting them to germinate, so I went "all out," but peppers are not a full-sun plant.
