Or you can plant hot and sweet peppers close together if you make 15 gallons of salsa a year (and other dishes). There are 40 pepper plants in the attached picture. They grow fine and produce a lot, but like I say I get a lot of accidental crosses.

What is your grow mix, Armac? Peppers like it, do you have other plants in smart pots?
