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.

I suppose it applied to all peppers; the author didn't say about variety.

I've grown some that for the most part could support themselves. I was just
wondering if this was a good tip or not.
