Growing Peppers in Containers
Three pepper plants in 1 container? Oh yes! Peppers love being planted close together with their friends and really thrive that way!
Here I have 2 Shishito Peppers and 1 Basket of Fire hot pepper all planted in a 15” deep container from Home Depot and our family ate grilled peppers all summer long (and made chili flakes and chili powder too)!
As a general rule, square foot gardening suggests planting 1 pepper seedling per square foot. But if you strategically place your plants in a triangle, you could get away with more.
Hope you give this method a try this year and see the results for yourself.
