I have a small space. Growing there now nicely are
a Cramer729 and a Cramer824 (thanks Shellie).
I love them both. I would rather let them do it. My
objective is get something large not enter a contest.
The dug plot is a mere 10x10. Space around it is
~25x~30 but includes on it's sides other permanent
plants, the path to my front door, and the street.

There no set rules. If you don't want a plant, you simply pull it up and
dispose of the vegetation elsewhere.
Sounds to me as if you aren't growing for competition, so why not keep both
and learn from the experience? Most competition growers would not put two
plants in such a small space, but if it suits your purpose, go with it.
Besides, you may decide to pull a plant later, or not. Go with it-it's early
yet and there's plenty of time to decide.
