A variety of peppers can be grown together.
A common myth in the gardening world is that you cannot grow hot peppers and sweet peppers in the same garden space. Because peppers are self-pollinators, they can indeed be grown in the same space without the sweet peppers becoming hot. While peppers can be grown from seed planted directly in the garden in the Deep South, pepper plants should be started indoors during the spring and transplanted to the garden when the soil is warm.
Instructions
1. Dig holes 18 to 24 inches apart in the prepared garden space.
2. Remove the pepper plant from the growing pot by gently turning the plant upside down.
3. Place a single pepper plant in each hole and cover the roots with the removed soil. Press down the soil around the plants.
4. Water the newly planted transplants to remove any air pockets in the soil.
5. Continue to water the plants as needed to keep the soil moist during dry periods of the summer.
