I'm kinda proud of the sweet peppers I started from critterologist's seeds. I ended up planting them in one 33' row east-to-west on the south side of my corn where they'll get plenty of sun. They've been in the garden almost a week now, and they're 18" apart, 23 plants. I worked a light dose of 10-10-10 fertilizer into the row before transplanting.
I decided not to stagger them in the row because hand-weeding to me is like kryptonite to Superman - I like to get in there close with a tiller.
We had 3 more inches of rain yesterday and last night, and I can hardly get in the garden today. I've got my corn seed, but the garden's going to have to dry out before I can plant it. There's more rain predicted.
I've found the standard wire tomato cages are 'way too small for tomatoes, but I had enough of them for every other pepper plant. I'll string cords in between to tie the rest of them up. I think they're doing good.
