Hello all!!

I'm new to growing peppers and I need a little bit of advice. 

 In almost everything I've read in books and on this list, I've learned that peppers are notorious cross-breeders.  

My peppers are going to start to flower in a few weeks, so I'm getting a little bit nervous about this cross-breeding thing.  

While I realize that the best solution would be to keep the peppers as far apart as possible, I just don't have the luxury of space for these things.  

I am thinking of enclosing the plants in silkscreen cages -- would this be enough to stop the cross breeding?  Keeping my peppers as pure as possible is really important to me since there are practically no local sources for good pepper seeds here.

Can anyone help?

Gabe
