Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html
My question is HOW did you grow the nine hottest peppers together? I
have tried, but the cross-breeding screwed things up (and I only tried two
varieties), so I assumed more than one variety couldn't be grown in close
proximity. If I knew how to stick nine different pepper varieties into a
single plot, I'd build another one just for them!
Thanks muchly...

What
exactly did you do? I joined this last year but don't recall your 9 hottests
peppers (Peppers are of a particular interest to me. I have several different
varieties each year.) Please feel free to send me info on or off list.

Perhaps 4 peps centered in 3 squares
