13 inches too close?
I'm planning our pepper beds to plant out. They fit perfectly if I can plant them 13 inches apart. (I have always planted 18" apart)
So, I Googled it, "Plant peppers in a bed that receives full sun. Provide a sandy loam soil that drains well and contains plenty of organic matter. Depending on the size of the pepper varieties planted, spacing should be 12-18 inches apart." What do you think - too close together? Here are the varieties. The number is how many plants I have of each kind: 6 Thai Chili 6 Red Cherry 6 Jumbo Jalapeño 6 Jimmy Nordello 4 Early Jalapeño 2 Cayenne 2 Chocolate Beauty 5 Tabasco 5 Shizhito 3 Aji Amarillo 5 Leutchauer Paprika 3 Anaheim 2 Thai Chili Large 5 Serrano 6 Poblano 5 Stavros Pepperoncini 3 Penot Noir 3 Chocolate Cherry Bomb 2 Hungarian Wax 1 Twilight 1 Riot 2 Sweet Cayenne 3 Bishop’s Crown 2 Peppadew 6 Aji Limon This is how it looks laying it out. Oh, and anything you see green in that bed is a volunteer tomato plant. There's a bunch of them. |
