As far as spacing goes, it all depends on the plant and how concerned you are with ensuring seed purity with no or little chance of any crossing. I know gardeners who plant peppers and tomatoes right next to each other and are able to save seed that seems to grow true to type every season. Others separate them by planting in different sections of the garden, using containers, or simply cage individual plants or flowers to ensure that there is no cross pollination.

When you grow heirlooms, do you save the seeds? I garden and own Suzanne Ashworth's Seed to Seed, but am confused about things like spacing for heirloom peppers and tomatoes, esp. TYIA for your advice, Olympia Hi Kenny,

Thanks for the book suggestion and the seed company. I’ve only grown a few Heirloom varieties before, but have often thought I really need to focus on this.
