RE: Digging Garden Trenches & Planting Our Capsicum Seedlings.
Great work and choice with the capsicums. i agree that planting is very rewarding. When the capsicums are larger, you can plant other things underneath like carrots and onions. The capsicums last a couple of years and don't need to be pulled up in winter. Mine are on their third and final season and have flowers and small fruit developing. its great to see what your doing, all the best :)
That's interesting actually. We have some potted that have lasted years. They are only small capsicums but I think that's because the plants are potted.
So you use the space between the plants for winter crops do you? How efficient!
Absolutely, companion planting works great. Capsicums cope with the extreme heat and harsh sun and don't wilt and die like some plants do. They offer good shade in summer and drop their leaves in winter allowing the other plants to push up, or down if its carrots.
