Hi all,
I am planting about 10 various varieties of chiles such as anahiem, poblano,
etc. this year and was wondering the optimal spacing in the garden for best
production? I plant in raised beds about 4 feet wide in good loamy soil.
What would you recommend for center to center planting? I have been using
about 16 inches between plants, but read somewhere 12 inches was
satisfactory. The seed packets generally say 18".
And do you all mulch your plants?
Thanks, Janet
