Pepper and eggplant varieties
I have a single 32 sq ft bed for peppers and eggplants this year. Here is what I planted (today).
8 bell peppers (from a mix, so these might be green, purple, red, orange, yellow or white)
5 jalapenos
4 Fooled You (not spicy jalapenos)
3 Sweet Spot (banana type)
3 Sweet Banana
3 Golden Treasure
1 Poblano (wanted more, but that is all that germinated)
1 Rosa Bianca Eggplant
1 Black Beauty Eggplant
3 Pingtung Eggplant.
Hopefully they all do well squished in their 1 sq ft allotment :)
