Re: planting hot peppers and sweet peppers next to one another... I've done 
this for 10 years now, and I've never had the problem of the hot peppers 
causing the sweet peppers to become hot.

From what I've heard the problem happens when sweet peppers become hot if 
they don't get enough water.  (Alternate explanation I've heard: if you 
harvest the hot peppers first, and then go to harvest the sweet peppers, you 
might spread some "heat" on the sweet peppers that way...)
