    Can I grow more than one variety of pepper in the same area?

    You just dont want them to bloom at the same time. Put your banana in a bucket and set them somewhere else if it is a large concern. As long as neither are hot and you are just eating them, does it really matter if they do? This is the way some of the best hybrids happen - by accident!

    Can I grow more than one variety of pepper in the same area?

    From my experience you shouldn't be too bad off as they are all sweet peppers. you might space out the bananas so they dont stretch out your bells but you should be ok. I have run into crossing sweet and hot before do to being too close (made an interesting bell pepper).

    Anyone know When is Spaghetti squash ripe??

    You want to wait until 1. It is a nice bright yellow 2. The stem is pretty well brown and dry If you pick it to early it won't want to peel apart after you have cooked it. We will cut ours in half and clean out the seeds (those go straight to the girls!) and put a heaping TBLSP of dark...

    Cutworm Invasion

    I don't know about the toothpicks but I do use woodstick matches. I put 4 or five around the bottom of the plant about an inch away and (knock on wood) I don't have cut worm problems. Plus the sulfur in them does wonders for some of the plants and some dont care one way or another.
