This year I want to grow some heirloom beans, winter squash, peppers (hot and sweet) and maybe more... AND I want to save seed. I know C. pepo will not cross with C. maxima, and C. maxima will not cross with C. mixta, so those are no problem for me.

BUT how far apart to plant peppers, beans and other squash?

THANKS in advance!
