In the one gardening season (1994) when I had really fabulous peppers here 
(zone 7, just outside DC), the individual plants were more than 
waste-basket size by early August and producing their heads off.

One per square would have been right.  (I wasn't square-footing then and 
had them in rows on about 10-inch centers and that was too close together 
for good breeze penetration.)

But in all seasons since then, for whatever climatic or other reasons, my 
peps have been scrawnier by far.  Perhaps 4 peps centered in 3 squares 
would do in an average year.
