<< Any ideas? Can chile plants be productive spaced 16" apart or is this just
wishful thinking on my part? Any suggestions/feedback would be greatly
appreciated. >>
I always plant some Chiles in 5 gal. pots and they are very happy and
productive. I use to only plant them in my raised beds, but the tomatoes
took over. LOL So now I plant many in posts, sometimes even 2 or 3 in a pot
and that way I drag them into the greenhouse to overwinter. I usually grow
40-60 peppers and many tomatoes. Last year I grew 37 heirloom tomatoes and
30 different chiles. This year it's topping off at 100 heirloom tomatoes and
40+ chiles. Need more space. Potted tomatoes and Chiles circle the pool as
it's great heat and sun there. LOL Hubby thinks I am crazed.....hummmmmmm
