Thanks for your reply Robert, I probably did not provide enough info in my
earlier post. I am planning on planting (if the seedlings thrive) about
150 Big Jim variety New Mex type green chiles. Since they are all the same
variety they should be approx. the same height. Individual plant spacing
will be about 18" with about 3 ft. between rows. Is there a preferable
compass direction to orient the rows? Does it even matter?
