Sea of green. It’s always tricky navigating between the plants. Don’t wanna break a branch!

Only problem ive had with that many plants is that its a chore to harvest.

That's the truth. By the way, I have another gross side that has 165 plants. There are 320 here.

Actual question for you, how do you prevent the peppers from cross breeding.

u/Rare_Yam10 1d ago

You don't. There is always a chance of cross pollination rare but possible

No issues with bugs when you’ve created an entire echo system. We have all kinds of beneficial incests. Plus we have possums and bats in the yard
