RE: Pepper spacing

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hello,

I grew the following:

1. Yellow aji  (5')

2. Jamaican  (5')

3. Turkish cayenne (5')

4. Giant Serrano (5')

5. Hot Lemon

6. Fatalli

7. Gold habenaro

8. Thai sun

All of the above seeds came from http://www.pepperjoe.com although his seeds
are a little on the "pricey" side they do give you free seeds with every
order and they are organic.

I also grew the following fro Burpee

1. Orange habenaro

2. Thai dragon

3. Chiletepin

I grew the chiletepin in 10" pots because they take a very long time to
ripen and since I got a late start last year I was afraid frost would get
here before they ripened. They are sitting here right beside me as they are
a perennial and will go back out this spring.

Although I could be mistaken I believe the only time you have to worry about
sweet peppers being hot and vise-versa is if you use the seeds from a
previous year where they were planted very close.

I've definately expanded this year with many more varieties, I will publish
a list later if anyone is interested. Most of my seeds this year came from
http://www.tomatogrowers.com which is a great catalog for tomatoes and
peppers.

Oh, good, there you are!  I tried growing habaneros (sp?) from seed last
year, from some peppers I bought, but the plants never got taller than two
inches and never bloomed.  Which peppers did you grow, if you don't mind
repeating yourself?  And which ones got 5' tall?
Right now I'm just doing jalapeno, serrano, yellow hot, and something else
that I've forgotten.  In sweets, I'm doing green, yellow and red.  Green
didn't do so well last year -- a little thin skinned and not sweet enough --
could be it was too close to the yellow hot.  So this year, they're going to
be widely separated.
