actually, there are exceptions. it is when space is limited and the maximum numbers
of different varieties want to be grown. like for example two or three different
varieties of peaches are wanted plant the 2 or 3 different trees in the same hole.
each tree will produce less of course. the added benefit is that it will also help
dwarf the trees. if you are going to remove a plant, cut it off, dont pull it and
disturb the roots. you may also want to experiment by leaving some as doubles, some
as individuals and report back results. Ingrid

Ack. sigh. I guess I need to thin my plants out. I have two beautiful
tomatoes side by side. Not to mention a bunch of tomatoes and peppers
growing in pairs. Are there any known exceptions to this?
