Take a look at the pepper growing advice on my web site - http://www.thechileman.com/yourown.htm.

This is for outdoor growing, but also should work well in a high tunnel. I follow John Jeavons' recommendations, which favor close spacing and bio-intensive growing methods.

BTW, an interesting use for my greenhouse has been to grow lettuces and greens up on a table. Lots and lots of production - good for the restaurant trade - but less bending over and no digging -

First indoor peppers were 2008.

I did row pairs 16 apart with plants 16 apart but offset, 48" between pairs.

More fruits than the plants could hold up so I had to add stakes and a rail along each side of the rows.

If fruit is left on the plant and becomes fully red ripe is that a signal to the plant
to shut down, mine quit blooming after the reds showed up.? I had expected them to keep going like tomatoes.
