Default Pepper growing question

When last we left our heros, on Mon, 17 Mar 2003 18:22:28 GMT,
"FDR" scribbled:

I read in a book to start two pepper plants together from seed. The idea is
that they help to support each other and give better shade.

Do others here do that? Does it sound like a good idea to you?


I don't. My pepper plants usually get large enough to be small
bushes. Putting two seeds together would make a mess of twisted
branches. Plus the ventilation would be decreased, which would
increase the chances of a mold or mildew.

What kind of peppers are you talking about? I rarely
have one that needs support, but I mostly grow hot peppers.
