Re: Cross-pollination

It is my understanding that cross-pollination can be a problem with corn
and sweet/hot peppers, because the seeds are an integral part of the
taste of both.

With the peppers, apparently the hot peppers are a less hot, and I read
here that somebody said that their sweet peppers were bitter.
Unfortunately for me, my good intentions to seperate the peppers were
for naught--they got mixed up in my friends greenhouse and we have no
idea which are which! So I'll have first hand anecdotes as the summer
goes on.

With corn you can avoid cross-pollination by planting different
varieties two weeks apart.
